Salvation Army and Fans 4 Oklahoma fan drive underway; here's how to help
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The warm, even hot, temperatures are upon us, which means high heat is on the horizon. You can help people stay cool this season by taking part in the Salvation Army fan drive. Free Boat? All this mechanic had to do was bring it back from the bottom of Arcadia Lake KFOR has once again partnered with The Salvation Army to help provide relief for Oklahomans. To some, they're just box fans, but to others, they can be life-changing during the summer season. 'It does help those families who can't afford A/C, want to keep their electric bill down,' Salvation Army Social Services Manager Paul Durrett said. 'So, it does help those families, you know, kids, elders, and the vulnerable people.' Just last year, the Salvation Army says your donations ended up in the hands of 300 people who needed them. This is all part of the annual fan drive, and this year, they're already noticing a need for them earlier than usual. 'We started getting calls last month wondering where we're going to get fans,' Durrett said. You can help out people in need, and it starts at Westlake ACE Hardware locations across the city. 'We are allowing individuals to round up at the register, and all of those donations will come back to purchase box fans for the community members in need,' Salvation Army's Development and Marketing Manager Annie Perkins said. That event is going on until June 7. You can also buy a box fan and donate it to the Salvation Army facility off NW 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Another way to help is to drop a fan off at the upcoming fan drive with the Bricktown Rotary and KFOR . 'Which will be held at Rococo's on Western,' Perkins said. 'That'll be taking place on Monday, June 9th from 4-6:30 p.m.' Donations can also be made online. Durrett said every bit counts. 'There's a lot of people that want to donate either money, fans to this cause,' he said. 'So, it's big. It shows people helping people out.' The Salvation Army plans to hand fans out in mid-June while supplies last. If you need one, you can visit the Salvation Army facility off NW 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on Tuesday's and Thursday's during regular business hours. You do have to show a valid I-D to receive one. Fans 4 Oklahoma Fan Drive Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
