Decatur-Macon County Senior Center WAND/ Senior Center Fan Drive

PRESS RELEASE

DECATUR-MACON COUNTY SENIOR CENTER

Monday June 7, 2021

WAND/SENIOR CENTER FAN DRIVE

The Annual WAND/Senior Center Fan Drive will kick off with a one day event on Thursday, June 17, 2021 at Walmart North in Decatur from 7am to 1pm.  We urge everyone to come to the WAND tent that will be near the front entrance of Wal-Mart and donate a fan.  We are asking for volunteers to help man the tent with WAND staff.  WAND will be doing cut-outs during the early morning hours from the scene.  If you are interested in volunteering for an hour or two (or more) please call Leslie at the Senior Center - 429-1239.  It has been a hot summer so far and we have already given out most of the fans we had left over from last summer.

The fans are given out to seniors 55 years or older and have not received a fan in the past two years and are low income (monthly income of $1508 for a household of one or $2,030 for 2 persons).  Thank you in advance for your help!
