EPB has launched a Power Share Fan Fund program to provide fans to customers in need.
In partnership with local ACE Hardware stores, EPB will collect donations from customers for the purchase of fans and then distribute fans throughout the month of July.
EPB is also encouraging community members in need to apply for a free fan by calling United Way’s 2-1-1 at 423 265-8000.
“The summer heat can be dangerous for those without central air,” said EPB’s Karen Thomas, senior manager of customer service. “But with the generous donations from customers and the help of ACE Hardware, United Way, and our own employee volunteers, we hope to make a difference for those in need and help keep them safe this summer.”
Those interested can make cash donations at any Chattanooga ACE Hardware location, where collection cans will be located at each cash register. EPB will be collecting donations at the Chattanooga Market on Sunday, July 5, and Sunday, July 19, as well as at any of the three EPB office locations:
· Downtown - 10 West M.L. King Blvd.
· Brainerd - 5830 Brainerd Road
· Hixson - 2124 Northpoint Blvd.
For more information or questions on how to help, call EPB at 423 648-1EPB.
