Heat Wave and Wellness Resources

This guide is a non-exhaustive list of resources to help someone experiencing a heat wave. It also has additional resources for health and wellness including how to improve air quality. Please share widely. This is a source meant for all. We especially want to ensure it reaches those who are most impacted during heat waves (BIPOC folks, disabled folks, low-income folks, houseless folks, etc.) If you know of other important resources please let us know via email so we can update accordingly. Additionally, if you have questions or need more support you can reach us at programs@soulardarity.com. Stay cool, stay safe. In Solidarity, the Soulardarity Team.
