Carson City heating, air conditioning business seeks cooling fan donations for local seniors
Local outfit Roper’s Heating and Air Conditioning is seeking donations of brand-new box fans for Carson City seniors during the annual 2020 KOLOCares Fan Drive.
Dirk Roper, owner of Roper’s, said last year, his organization donated 20 new fans to the Carson City Senior Center for distribution to local seniors, and issued a challenge for other heating and air conditioning companies to do the same.
“It is our job every day to make people comfortable,” Roper said. “Many seniors are unable to afford a fan, let alone air conditioning. This is our way of making our seniors safe and comfortable in 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 at the Carson City Senior Center between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. or by appointment at 911 Beverly Drive. Appointments may be made by calling (775) 883-0703.
Donations are also accepted at the Carson City Christensen Automotive location at 1860 E. William Street.
Seniors 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. More than 100 fans were donated to Carson City seniors during last year’s drive.
