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

SCI will collect new box fans to distribute to older adults in need — especially those who do not have air conditioning or who struggle to afford increasing utility costs.

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

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 is in need of a fan, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis now. To enquire about eligibility, call 912-236-0363.

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