The Salvation Army will be distributing fans donated by Evergy to those who are the most in need. This includes the elderly, individuals with disabilities and those who may otherwise have difficulty purchasing a fan for themselves. Click here to see the flyer.

Fan distribution is Tuesday, June 25, at our Downtown Koch Center, 350 North Market (3rd & Market) from 9:00am to 3:30pm. Fans will be available to Sedgwick County residents only, while they last.

“Many residents of our community do not have access to air conditioning, creating potentially dangerous situations during the summer months,” said South Central Area Commander, Major Merrill Powers. “Our partnership with Evergy will provide comfort and cooling to those in our neighborhoods facing physical or financial challenges.”

“Evergy and the Salvation Army have a longtime and critical partnership” said Elizabeth Danforth, Evergy Director, and Corporate Social Impact. “This fan distribution and heat safety effort helps us reach some of the most vulnerable members of our communities and help them stay safe during the summer heat.”
