CARSON CITY — Roper’s Heating and Air Conditioning is seeking donations of brand new, in-the-box fans for Carson City seniors during the annual KOLOCares Fan Drive.
Dirk Roper, owner of Roper’s, said this is his company’s third year collecting fans for the Carson City Senior Center. Roper’s has donated more than 45 new fans to the Senior Center for distribution to local seniors over the past two years, contributing significantly to more than 200 fans donated by the community.
“Our hottest months are upon us,” Roper said. “For our seniors who may not have air conditioning, a fan can move air around and create a cooling effect. Seniors are extremely sensitive to excessive heat and a fan can make a big difference in their health and welfare this summer.”
Roper said the fans may be dropped by the Roper’s office, located at 2062 S. Edmonds Drive in Carson City or picked up by a Roper’s service technician during a service call. Fans may also be dropped off at the Carson City Senior Center between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at 911 Beverly Drive.
Donated fans must be brand new and in the original box.
People aged 60 or older are eligible to receive a new fan, with priority given to seniors without air conditioning and those who have not previously participated in the program.
