The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office is collecting FANS FOR THE ELDERLY again this year from now through Labor Day. Fans donated must be new in the box and UL-approved to be redistributed to someone in need. Used fans, regardless of condition, cannot be accepted.

Donated fans can be dropped off 24/7 at the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, 130 Justice Center Drive, Reidsville, N.C. Those wishing to donate but cannot make it to one of these locations can flag down a Deputy working in their area or call the Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 336-634-3232 to arrange for the Deputy in your area to stop by and pick up your donation in between calls for service.

Fans donated to the Sheriff’s Office will be given to the Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services for distribution to the elderly in Rockingham County that are in need, giving those without the means a way to beat the heat this summer. Those requesting a donated fan should contact Adult Protective Services at the Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services at (336) 342-1394 to see if they qualify.
