Before the Labor Day holiday weekend, we ventured off into a section of the desert with some canyons that are very exposed to the sun and have had lots of consumption of our supplies in the past, and revisited them to stock them back up.
It was a rare desert cool down of around 110° or so. If you were anywhere in the West or Southwest, you’ll remember Labor Day weekend had seen some record temperatures in the states along the border. It was crucial that we stocked these canyons with water and supplies before the record temperatures hit. Thank you to everyone on our team who keeps coming out week after week and putting their bodies on the line to do some good. No matter the weather, nor how extreme the temperatures get, we have not, and will never leave the desert. As long as people are crossing through, we’ll be there. While the temperatures are still extreme, we are only taking experienced Water Drop volunteers for the time being. Thank you all for your patience. As soon as we can safely take new volunteers we will. For the meanwhile, sharing posts and making donations allow us to continue our work, and be efficient as possible. For any questions about Water Drops or our Water Drops during Covid, reach out to Water Drop Program Co-Director James Cordero, james@borderangels.org. Thank you for your continued support!
