Partnership with Salvation Army and HEB promises to "Help Families Stay Cool This Summer" with Curbside Fan Distribution
McAllen, TX - As the summer heat intensifies, many local families struggle to stay cool. To combat this issue, the McAllen Rotary Club, in a heartwarming partnership with the Salvation Army and HEB, is organizing the 2023 Fan Drive, a charity event aimed at providing fans to needy families in Hidalgo County.
With safety being a priority, fan distribution this year will be a curbside service to protect our clients, staff, and volunteers amid the ongoing public health concerns. Families will drive up, show their identification and utility bill to social services, and a fan will be placed in their trunk by a staff member or volunteer.
The Fan Drive Distribution Day is scheduled for Thursday, July 27th from 8:00am - 11am, or while supplies last. Fans will be distributed at the Salvation Army located at 1600 N. 23rd St. McAllen. The event is open to all residents of Hidalgo County with a limit of one fan per family/per vehicle.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to HEB for their continued support to help our community stay cool this summer!
