Box Fans to Help Cool Tulsans

KWGS News

With temperatures expected to be the highest of the summer this week, a donation of fans to the Tulsa Salvation Army is arriving just in time. The box fans come from Westlake ACE Hardware. The Salvation Army’s Major Mark Gilliam thanked the company for helping those in need. He says the donated fans come just in time for the dangerously hot temperatures. The Salvation Army’s supply of fans is being rapidly depleted due to the heat wave we’ve already seen in recent weeks.

The 373 box fans will go to the elderly, low-income families, and the disabled who otherwise might not be able to afford ways to stay cool.
