(KNZA)--As we move into the summer season, heat relief will be needed more than ever.
The Northeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging has joined forces with two partners to help area residents improve their quality of life and beat the heat.
According to a press release, neighbors who are elderly, disabled people without access to air conditioning or those who cannot afford to purchase a fan for themselves will have the opportunity to receive one fan per family thanks to donations from Westar Energy and The Salvation Army.
The fan distribution will take place Tuesday afternoon ( June 18) from 1 to 3 at the Northeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging at 1803 Oregon Street in Hiawatha.
By providing an ID, proof of address and electric bill, fans will be available until they are all distributed.
Westar’s annual local gift of fans is part of a $60,000 fan contribution distributed throughout the communities it serves.
