Chatham County issued the following announcement on Aug. 12.
Tanya Milton, 5th District Chatham County Commissioner has partnered with the 5th District Coalition to distribute donated fans to our senior neighbors who are in need.
During this heat wave, which is anticipated to last through August and into September a need was discovered and “we are our brother's keeper”. Members of the 5th District Coalition will identify residents within their prospective neighborhoods and will deliver to those residents.
Fan donations were accepted from community leaders. The announcement and distribution will begin on Saturday, August 14th at 3:00 p.m. The group will meet at 1805 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd beginning at 2:30 p.m.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and special thanks to Bill and Virginia Maynard.
