LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas organizations are working on a flip flop drive to help people experiencing homelessness during an intense period of heat in the valley.

As temperatures sustain at over 110 degrees, the Las Vegas Fashion Council and the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation are teaming up to bring flip flops to homeless populations.

The organizations are accepting flip flops in all sizes through the rest of July, but say there is a primary need for men's sizes 10-11 and women's sizes 8-10.
