In the blistering heat of Tolleson, Arizona, a new initiative has been launched to provide relief to residents grappling with the soaring temperatures. The City of Tolleson is offering portable air conditioning units, free of charge, to eligible residents who find themselves without adequate cooling in their homes. This program aims to support those using swamp coolers or with no air conditioning at all.

Eligibility for this life-cooling program is straightforward: if you pay your water bill to the City of Tolleson and can provide proper ID along with your Tolleson water bill, you might find yourself with a cool breeze coming your way. But, as reported by the City of Tolleson, "Units Are Only Available on a First-Come, First-Served Basis."

For residents looking to take advantage of this offer, information on how to apply is available by contacting the City of Tolleson Community Action Program (CAP) Office. Interested parties can reach out at 623-936-2760 option 2 for details. In addition to the loaner AC units, the city has also established hydration stations at the Tolleson Public Library and the City of Tolleson Fire Department, where bottled water is available.

Moreover, Tolleson’s hydration support doesn't stop there. Teams from Tolleson Field Operations, the Police, and Fire departments are equipped with water bottles, ready to assist residents in staying hydrated under the punishing desert sun. For more information or inquiries, citizens are advised to contact the City of Tolleson at the same phone number provided for the A/C unit program or to visit their website.
