On Thursday, September 10, through Volunteer PHX’s Corporate Group Initiative, seven staff from Citizens Bank assisted three Office of Heat Response and Mitigation staff in packing 715 tree care kits at the Emergency Preparedness Warehouse.

This event supported the Community Canopy Program funded by the United States Forest Service Inflation Reduction Act. City of Phoenix residents in eligible areas applied to receive up to two trees professionally planted for free.

To equip each household to care for their new trees, the program also provides a free supply bag with a hose, irrigation timer, batteries, and watering guides. The time from these volunteers will contribute to a smooth tree planting season and the growing canopy coverage in Phoenix. 🌳💖
