Can’t stand the heat, get a fan!

Reno, Nev. June 1, 2020. In an effort to provide some relief from the warm northern Nevada temperatures, KOLO Cares News Channel 8 and the Washoe County Human Services Agency (HSA) are launching the 2020 summer fan drive. The public is asked to donate new fans for our seniors from now through the month of August.
Those 60 and older can pick-up a fan curbside Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.- 3 p.m., at the Washoe County Senior Center, which is located at 1155 E. 9th St., building E. Seniors are asked to contact Washoe County Senior Services at (775) 328-2575 ext. 9 to see if a fan is available before coming by.

What: KOLO Summer Fan Drive for Seniors.

Where: New fans must still be in the box and dropped off or picked up curbside at the Washoe County Senior Services located at 1155 E. Ninth St., building E, Reno.

When: June1 through Aug. 31, 2020. Drop off or pick up between 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Details: Only donations of new fans in the box will be accepted. To qualify for a fan, recipients must be 60 years of age or older. Seniors without air conditioning and those who have not previously participated in the program are a priority.
