The Seasonal Services program was created as a result of seasonal heating and cooling equipment donations made by a variety of local groups, organizations and individuals.
The goal of the program is to distribute heaters, fans, and air conditioners to households that do not have a primary source for heating or cooling their homes.
PROGRAM BASICS
- To combat summer heat, fans are donated annually by Evergy; a variety of local businesses and individuals add to that supply each year.
- Air conditioners are also donated by the public; because of the limited number of A/C units donated, the agency reserves those for individuals with documented heath issues that are specifically affected by the heat.
- The agency partners with HeartWarmers, a program created by R.J. Jackson, to provide space heaters to those in need during the cold weather months.
- In 2024, 52 heaters, 117 fans were distributed to 185 households, consisting of 470 individuals. The value for these items were $5,475.
DONATING
Without donor help, many individuals would lack the basic items they need to live comfortably on a daily basis. If you would like to donate space heaters or fans, contact the agency by calling 816.364.1131 or visit our Amazon wish list here. Your support is greatly appreciated and helps us keep our programs alive.
