Free Ceiling Fans Being Offered to Huntington County Residents Amid Heat Wave

HUNTINGTON, Ind. (WPTA) – Free fans are being offered to Huntington County residents as temperatures rise in northeast Indiana.

United Way of Huntington County, Purdue Extension and the county commissioner’s office, health department and emergency management agency are partnering to provide fans to residents who need help keeping their homes cool.

Ventilators will be available Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Indiana Family Care Center, 501 N. Jefferson St. in Huntington.

Thanks to a grant from the Duke Energy Foundation secured by the United Way of Huntington County and assistance from Walmart, 100 ventilators will be available. Residents must come to the center to pick up a ventilator and provide their name and address.

Fans are limited to one per household, on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
