The Beat the Heat Fan Campaign benefits Central Ohio’s most vulnerable residents during periods of extreme heat. Since this annual drive began, LifeCare Alliance has collected and distributed more than 22,000 fans!
Older adults, people with a chronic illness, and homebound individuals are more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. A simple box fan can lower a room’s temperature by 10 degrees and save lives.
WAYS TO HELP
- Purchase a new Box fan from your nearest retailer and drop it off at a Franklin County fire station close to you (fans must be new-in-box due to safety concerns).
- You can also order a fan through our Amazon wish list, and the fan will be sent directly to us.
- Donate to the Beat the Heat Fan Campaign. Do so online here, or mail your check to LifeCare Alliance, 1699 West Mound Street, Columbus, OH 43223. Make sure to mention the Beat the Heat Fan Campaign on your check.
- Volunteer to pick up fans from fire stations and bring them to our Harmon Avenue facility. Contact Anne Peters, In-Kind Coordinator, at fans@lifecarealliance.org to get involved.
HOW TO GET A FAN
- Currently LifeCare Alliance is distributing fans exclusively to its current clients. If you are a current client of LifeCare Alliance, please reach out to your program contact person and request a fan.
- Public distribution to non-clients of LifeCare Alliance will begin in June. Call the Fan Information Hotline at (614)-437-2870 for updated information on the next distribution event.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
- Public distributions of fans are held at LifeCare Alliance distribution facility located at 670 Harmon Avenue.
- Present photo ID when picking up a fan. If a representative is picking up the fan for you, they must provide your ID.
- Due to limited supply, there is a limit of one fan per household.
