The Carson City Senior Center has handed out 154 fans year to date to those who need them.
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 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at 911 Beverly Drive.
“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.
