Roper’s HVAC and KOLOCares fan drive for seniors underway in Carson City
Earlier this month, Dirk Roper, owner and CEO of Roper’s Heating and Air Conditioning, made the first of many deliveries of the summer of 50 fans to the Carson City Senior Center as part of the KOLOCares 2024 Fan Drive to help Carson City seniors stay cool this summer.
Over the past five years, Roper’s has donated more than 500 new fans to the Senior Center for distribution to local senior center. Roper is asking the community to join him again this year in helping Carson City seniors to beat the summer heat.
Roper said the fans may be picked up by a Roper’s service technician during a service call, or dropped by the Roper’s office, located at 2062 S. Edmonds Drive in Carson City, or the Carson City Senior Center Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at 911 Beverly Drive.
If you would like to make a financial donation to purchase a fan for a senior, click here and the Carson City Senior Center will use those funds directly to purchase fans for seniors in need.
“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.”
Seniors aged 60 or older are eligible to receive a new fan from the Carson City Senior Center.
