Agency seeks fan donations for older adults
Older adults have a harder time dealing with heat and humidity. They are more likely to take prescription drugs that may affect the body’s ability to control its temperature and/or have a chronic condition that alters normal body responses to heat.
Every year, we at the AAASWA distribute fans to those members of the community who are 60 and over without central heat and air. Unfortunately, due to insufficient donations last year, we were unable to supply the much needed fans to our senior in this region. Please join us in striving to fulfilling this need.
We cover the following counties:
Calhoun
Columbia
Dallas
Hempstead
Howard
Lafayette
Little River
Miller
Nevada
Ouachita
Sevier
Union
Either fans or monetary donations for fans will be accepted. Donations are tax deductible and a donation receipt will be available upon request.
To learn more about hot weather safety for older adults visit National Institute on Aging.
Monetary donations can be made via PayPal at any time.
Please enter ‘fans’ into special instructions if you wish for your donation to go directly to providing fans for older adults.
