July 30, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — The city of Phoenix will accept donated items through Sept. 30 for the many homeless people who have no shelter and are in need of a few basic items that will keep them safe during the hot summer days.

The city is asking people to donate only the following items – unopened water bottles, sunscreen, new underwear, white socks, white T-shirts, insect repellent and pre-packaged snack items such as individually wrapped cookies and crackers – that will be distributed to the homeless. Cash or check donations to supplement the donated items also are welcomed.
