Taking care of our own

Many of us easily forget that there are those who don't have access to air conditioning. We go about our daily lives and some of us (albeit unintentionally) take A/C for granted. There is still a homeless issue in the Treasure Valley and those without a home have to endure the heat with no place to go.
