SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Senior Citizens, Inc. (SCI) is collecting fans to help older adults stay cool, safe and healthy during the summer months.

SCI will be gathering new box fans to provide for older adults who are in need, particularly those who lack air conditioning or face challenges with rising utility costs.

High temperatures can be dangerous for older adults, increasing the risk of heat exhaustion, dehydration and other serious health complications.

“A simple box fan can significantly impact an older adult’s ability to stay safe during the summer heat,” stated Patti Lyons, President of Senior Citizens Inc. “This initiative embodies our continued mission to support and safeguard the most vulnerable within our community.”

There are several ways you can help this campaign.

  • Donate a new box fan by dropping it off at SCI headquarters at 3025 Bull Street in Savannah
  • Make a financial donation by clicking here. SCI will use funds to purchase fans for distribution

If you or someone you know requires a fan, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For inquiries about eligibility, please call 912-236-0363.

Senior Citizens Inc.’s fan drive continues through August 29, or while supplies last.
