Our May 2024 Communique Spotlight features… Beat The Heat!

This coming Summer (2024) will be our third community collection for box fans.

With the help of FPC-Athens congregation, folks that that may be without adequate  cooling options caused by extreme heat will have some relief and be able to “beat”

the heat. In 2023, Terry Mayhall, our Soup Kitchen contact, gladly received the fans

and distributed them, one by one.

Our Missions & Community Concerns Committee is now

accepting boxed fan donations in the office. 

Fans can be found now at Dollar Stores, Walmart, and most pharmacies like

Walgreens and CVS, but they tend to disappear quickly and are often not reordered.  The cost per fan is usually between $15.00 & $20.00.  We are starting earlier this year

because last year’s heat arrived full-force in early June and we were mid-way into the summer getting them distributed.

Our goal?  To beat last year’s total by collecting 25-30 fans, if possible. 

If you do not want to go it alone, get a friend-group to go in

with you on the purchase of one or more fans.

Please have your fans into the office before Memorial Day: Monday, May 27th

so they can be given before the hottest times arrive and as always,

your help is most appreciated.

And oh, by the way, thank you in advance! 

Our members are widely known for our generosity and when a “call is issued,”

we step up!  We really, really do!
