Heat Survival: Catholic Charities Steps In | Las Vegas News

Las Vegas is scorching, but Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada is cooling things down for the homeless—collecting 20,000 water bottles and essentials like sunscreen, hats, and shoes to combat deadly heat. With over 500 heat-related deaths in the region last year alone, this summer drive isn’t just about comfort—it’s about survival. The charity’s cooling centers open during peak heat, offering refuge to those most at risk. Homelessness and age make people especially vulnerable, and with the local homeless population rising, community support is more vital than ever. Donations—both water and cash—are urgently needed at catholiccharities.com. When the temperature climbs, so does compassion.
