Beating the Heat

Evangel Hall MissionNews

In the coming months, you and your loved ones might be counting down to the official start of summer, organizing trips to the cottage, and soaking up every last ray of sun before the season fades.

For our clients and tenants, they’ll too be thinking about the arrival of summer and how they will stay safe from the heat in the city. Because of closures and reduced access to indoor spaces, finding drinkable water and a cool space indoors is more difficult than ever before.

When clients come to ehm to shower, do their laundry, or grab a meal, they can sit and wait in a cool, air conditioned space. This is a critical resource that helps prevent heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

We also provide air conditioning in our 84 residential units to ensure our tenants are safe and comfortable. Almost half of ehm tenants are seniors, so having dependable air conditioning is vital for heart and lung health and helps tenants stay safe indoors throughout the pandemic.
