The city of San Marcos is partnering with Salvation Army San Marcos to accept donations benefiting members of our community that do not have or cannot afford air conditioning.
Beginning May 8 through May 31, residents are encouraged to donate new 12-inch or larger multi-purpose pedestal fans or 20-inch box fans. Fans collected during the drive will be distributed to those in need through The Salvation Army San Marcos, located at 300 S CM Allen Pkwy, Suite 100. Residents seeking assistance can join the waitlist by calling 512-754-8541.
“Providing relief from the summer heat is a community effort, and we’re grateful for the generosity of our residents each year,” SMTX Utilities Assistant Director Brian McHenry said. “Last year, we received 118 fans and hope to see even more donations during this year’s fan drive.”
Visit sanamrcostx.gov/ aboutsmtxu to purchase a fan through the SMTX Utilities Amazon wish list or to make a monetary donation through the online payment service, Stripe. All contributions will be used to purchase new fans for distribution to people in need of assistance.
