Summer Fan Drive
Host a “Summer Fan Drive” to collect and distribute fans to low-income households during the hot summer months.
Start by setting up donation points at the church and partnering with local businesses to collect new or gently used fans. Promote the drive through social media, local media, and community bulletin boards to encourage donations. Work with local social services or community organisations to identify families in need. Once the fans are collected, organise a distribution day, or arrange for delivery to the recipients. Ensure that the distribution is done in a way that respects the dignity and privacy of those receiving assistance.
A Summer Fan Drive helps vulnerable individuals and families stay cool and safe during extreme heat, reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses. It also demonstrates the church’s commitment to caring for the physical well-being of the community.
