Westlake Ace Hardware is hosting a Salvation Army Fans for Families drive at its stores.
According to a news release from the Salvation Army, heat is one of the leading weather-related killers in the United States and causes hundreds of fatalities each year. Older adults, young children and those with medical conditions are especially susceptible to heat-releated illnesses.
And Westlake is doing its part to help those in need. Customers to the store are encouraged to purchase fans for a families in need this summer. Fans will be available for a discounted price and all cash donations received that day will be used to purchase fans.
