The Union Gospel Mission on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside is in desperate need of a couple of items during this warmer weather.
Spokesperson Keela Keeping is appealing to the public for water bottles, sunscreen and hats.
"We don't have any of those on stock right now and anything the public can do to bring those in would be really helpful they can drop them off anytime at our reception at 601 East Hastings."
Keeping says typically in years past the homeless have had a difficult time finding water to drink on the Downtown Eastside during a hot spell but she says renovated Oppenheimer Park facilities have helped.
