When summer in Arizona hits triple digits, staying cool isn’t just about comfort—it’s about survival. That’s why we once again joined forces with Brown Community Management to support the Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Code:Red Summer Heat Relief Campaign, helping to get bottled water to those who need it most.
And this year? We went big. Together, we collected 12,080 bottles of water to donate. That’s enough to fill an entire office breakroom…and then some.
Why We Keep Coming Back to This Cause

If you’ve lived in Arizona for more than a week, you know summer heat is no joke. For our neighbors experiencing homelessness or without reliable shelter, it’s downright dangerous. Dehydration can set in quickly, and access to clean, cold water can be the difference between life and death.
That’s why we jumped right back in this year. Not only is this cause close to our hearts, but we’ve seen the difference it makes—firsthand—from the smiles and gratitude of those receiving these donations. And yes, while LetterStream is known for helping people send mail online (and making it a breeze), we’re also big believers in lending a hand offline, too.

Partnership Power: Brown Management
The success of this year’s drive is thanks to a solid team effort. Brown Community Management rallied their network and encouraged donations across their communities. OPACS also helped out as our go-to for office supplies, once again came through in a big way to help us source and deliver the water.
It’s proof that when businesses team up for good, the results multiply—kind of like how one pallet of bottled water can become an entire truckload when everyone chips in.
From Pallets to People

We measured the donation in bottles, but the real measure is impact. Each case of water represents relief for someone braving the Arizona sun without easy access to hydration. That’s a humbling thought—and a big motivator for us to keep supporting the Code:Red Water Drive each year.
And while mailing Certified Mail online or sending bulk business statements might be our daily grind, it’s projects like this that remind us why community matters.
A Big Thank You
To everyone who donated, shared the cause, or helped move and stack cases in the blazing heat—thank you. You helped turn 12,080 bottles into 12,080 chances to make a scorching summer just a little bit safer for someone in need.
We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up when it matters. And we’ll be ready to do it all over again next year.
