Every year, the Annual Drew Thomas Water Drive makes a significant impact on the lives of those living on the streets, providing a vital resource that many take for granted: clean drinking water. Access to water is crucial for health and well-being, especially during the scorching summer months. The drive highlights the pressing need for hydration among the homeless community, ensuring they receive the sustenance required to survive and thrive.Drew Thomas, the inspiring young man behind this initiative, began his mission when he was just 9 years old. Motivated by a desire to make a difference, Drew has dedicated himself to this cause, promoting the drive through heartfelt videos and a dedicated webpage each year. His relentless efforts have garnered tremendous support. Drew’s passion and dedication exemplify the power of one individual to bring about positive change, and his annual water drive continues to be a beacon of hope and compassion for those in need. Join us in supporting Drew’s mission and help quench the thirst of those who need it most.

12th Annual Drew Thomas Water Drive
Why Water Matters More Than Most People Realize
For people experiencing homelessness, a single bottle of water can mean:
Hydration in extreme heat — preventing heat stroke, dehydration, and medical emergencies
Basic hygiene — brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning wounds
Dignity — the ability to freshen up before a job interview or case management meeting
Meal preparation — making instant foods at a campsite
Laundry — rinsing clothing when no other option exists
Water becomes a tool for survival, health, dignity, and hope.
When you give water, you are giving more than a bottle. You are giving someone a fighting chance.
This Is a Community Effort — And YOU Make It Possible
Every summer, When We Love distributes tens of thousands of bottles of water across Fort Worth. We deliver to:
Encampments
People living in cars
Individuals sleeping behind buildings
Families in motels
Youth on the streets
Veterans trying to survive the heat
Your generosity keeps these outreach efforts going. Your compassion keeps people alive.
Your Dollar Goes Further Than You Think
Because of our community partnerships, nonprofit pricing, and tax‑exempt status, your financial gift allows us to purchase water in bulk at deep discounts.
That means:
$10 becomes more water than you could buy at a store
$25 provides hydration for an entire encampment
$100 fuels a full day of outreach
$500+ helps us stock our warehouse for emergency heat days
When you give online, by cash, check, or credit card, your gift stretches further and helps us reach more people in crisis.
