CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Today, EPB launches its Power Share Fan Fund
program to help customers throughout the community beat the heat this
summer. In partnership with local Ace Hardware stores, EPB will collect
donations from customers for the purchase of fans and then distribute
fans to those in need 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,” says
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.
