20 JUNE 2012, PHOENIX, AZ: Street people reach into a cooler for cold water and fruit juice in Phoenix, AZ, Wednesday. June 20 is the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere. The high temperature in Phoenix Wednesday soared to over 110 (F), well above the normal of 105. The hot weather is especially stressful on the homeless, who don't have the opportunity to get into air conditioning or access to cold water. "I Will Listen," an outreach organization that assists the homeless and community of street people in Phoenix, AZ, provides free food and cold drinks to the homeless in central Phoenix. They ran out of drinks and food in about one hour during Wednesday's outreach. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
