Local Dog Haus is hosting a water drive this weekend benefitting Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Code: RED Summer Heat Relief Campaign, which aims to prevent serious illness and in some cases, death, due to Arizona’s extreme triple-digit temperatures.
Through Sunday, Aug. 18, Dog Haus will be offering its “Give Water, Get Beer” promotion; guests who donate a case of water at any of the three participating Dog Haus Biergarten locations will get a pint of beer for just one cent.
Year-round, Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Street Outreach Team provides water and essential care to our homeless neighbors across the Valley. This work is especially critical during the summer months as they seek to distribute over one million bottles of water in an effort to save lives. The nonprofit provides Christ-centered, life-transforming solutions to persons facing hunger, homelessness, addiction and trauma.
“Anyone who lives here or visits Arizona in the summer knows how hot it can get. Many times it’s easy to consider ways to keep cool and hydrated ourselves, but we may not always think of others,” said Queen Creek resident Andi Ott, franchise owner of Dog Haus. “Phoenix Rescue Mission is such an incredible and passionate organization and with how much they do for those in the homeless community, we knew we wanted to step up and help in any way we could.”
Three Valley Dog Haus locations will offer the “Give Water, Get Beer” promotion Aug. 16-18: Dog Haus Chandler, located off of the Loop 101 and Chandler Boulevard; Dog Haus Gilbert, located in SanTan Village; and Dog Haus in downtown Phoenix, located in CityScape. In addition to a pint of beer, the craft casual concept offers an extensive menu, including gourmet all-beef hot dogs, handcrafted sausages, humanely-raised, Creekstone Farms Black Angus beef burgers, chicken sandwiches, wings and tenders, local craft beers and full bar, breakfast burritos and even plant-based options.
“In 2023, there were 645 heat-related deaths in Maricopa County, a 52% increase from 2022, and almost half were from people experiencing homelessness,” said Phoenix Rescue Mission CEO Ken Brissa. “These deaths are tragic and preventable. Dog Haus’ generous water drive to benefit our Code:Red campaign will allow us to help these communities as much as possible by meeting people where they are at and providing life-saving necessities, like water.”
