Andrew Bales, CEO of Union Rescue Mission, spoke to Take Two's Josie Huang about how the organization is helping L.A.'s homeless amid record-breaking heat.
Bales suggestion for people who want to help starts with keeping spare water in your car.
"If you see somebody out in front of your house or in your neighborhood, just think what a glass of ice cold water might mean to someone on a day like this.
We need to start looking out for each other. In a big place like L.A., it's going to take an all hands on deck approach and I think that means federal and state and local officials, churches, businesses, all of us. We need to step up because we have people in great danger right now, certainly through homelessness but the heat just adds to that."
