San Antonio-based Broadway Bank has once again partnered with Caritas of Austin for the third annual “Beat the Heat” donation drive, helping protect individuals experiencing homelessness from extreme summer temperatures. The campaign is being held June 1–15 and invites communities to donate essential items that provide relief during the hottest months of the year. Every donation helps support those most vulnerable to the dangers of prolonged heat exposure.
“Since our founding, Broadway Bank has remained committed to supporting the communities we serve,” notes Amber Walker, community development officer. “As we continue celebrating 85 years of strength and stability, efforts like this reflect our ongoing commitment to show up for our neighbors when it matters most.”
“Extreme heat can pose serious health risks for our neighbors experiencing homelessness,” says Aaron King, Caritas of Austin director of marketing and communications. “Community support through drives like this helps ensure we can provide critical resources when they are needed most.”
Broadway Bank is urging citizens in Buda, Dripping Springs, Kyle, Midtown, Round Rock and Wimberly to drop off donations at one of its branches in those communities. The most needed items to beat the heat include reusable water bottles, sunscreen, sun hats, disposable wipes, electrolyte packs and cooling neckerchiefs. For those unable to donate in person, monetary contributions are also welcome.
Established in 1941, Broadway Bank has branches in San Antonio, Austin, the Hill Country and Dallas.
