Mindy and her staff were handing out bottles of water and hygiene items to people at Vista Del Camino Park in Scottsdale Wednesday afternoon. "We drive around, we're in the parks, we're just out in the community," she said. Mindy Gray has been with the mission's mobile heat program since 2015. The Phoenix Rescue Mission does the same. The organization helps the homeless get an official ID and Social Security card. "We also connect them with the city's homeless outreach team to get them into resources," she said. Williams says The Salvation Army goes even further in helping people who've fallen on hard times, get back on their feet. "We kind of restore the dignity back into individuals, knowing that they have a safe place to go, but also a caring facility with the staff that's going to care about them," she said. She says the cooling center not only saves lives by getting people out of the heat, but it changes lives as well. "As long as you're in the community and you're in need, our doors are open for you," Williams said. Williams says she stresses the center as a judgment-free zone, with everyone welcome no matter the background or circumstances. Salvation Army Captain Regeina Williams says the cooling center has actually been open since May 23, but they definitely see things ramp up as we near the heat of summer. So that's definitely something because if you don't have a positive attitude, it's really hard to get where you want to be," he said. Services like these, Plunket says to him, mean the world.
Guests get as much water as they need, hygiene items, and even a place to shower and wash their clothes. The Chandler center offers breakfast, lunch, and snacks in a cool air-conditioned room. And the other one is, don't smell homeless, for crying out loud." "There's two keys to being homeless," he said half-jokingly. Plunkett says the Salvation Army cooling center has been a godsend.
"I have a few medical issues and the heat does drain me a little quicker than it used to," he said. The heat outside, he says, is downright dangerous. Plunkett found shelter at the Salvation Army cooling center near Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road in Chandler. "It's been rough!" he said with a sheepish laugh. He has been living on the streets for just the past three months.
