It's time for the Summer Fan Drive!
For 23 years, Central Texas has rallied under the hot, Texas sun to bring relief and comfort to vulnerable seniors, adults with disabilities, and families. By Joining in on the Summer Fan Drive, we all can be a critical part of this effort!
How much can a fan really help?
When Family Eldercare knocks at the door of an older adult to deliver a fan, a connection is made. When they talk to that person, they may find that he or she is lonely, hungry, isolated, suffering abuse, or has unmet needs that can be addressed through one of other several programs offered by Family Eldercare. Not only do they supply fans, but each interaction gives Family Eldercare a chance to assess each situation to see if other issues need to be addressed as well.
So, what do we do to help?
The Summer Fan Drive asks that people donate NEW 20" box fans or NEW 12" (or larger) oscillating fans. The fans must be in NEW and in original packaging because of liability issues. They also accept donations. Preferably, donations should be made in $15 increments because a typical, 20" box fan is $15. NEW high-efficiency window a/c units can be donated as well.

Please drop off any donations in the office by June 18th.
