125 Fans Distributed Through Fan Care In One-Day Event Hosted By Dominion & Wal-Mart
Dominion, the Virginia
Department for the Aging (VDA) and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. on Saturday, Aug.
5 distributed 125 fans to seniors in need during an on-site screening at
the Sheila Lane Wal-Mart in Richmond. The first-ever event was part of the
Fan Care program that provides one free fan to elderly Virginians who live
within Dominion's service area and meet eligibility requirements.
"The timing of the event was critical," said Janet Schaefer, Director
of Long Term Care-VDA. "With the recent heat wave, we want to make sure
seniors know what programs are available to help them stay cool. This event
helped us reach far more people than we thought possible."
The on-site screening and distribution event followed the hottest week
of the year on record with heat indices reaching the triple digits for
several days in a row.
The 125 fans distributed on Saturday represents 55 percent of the total
amount distributed in the Richmond region during the entire summer of 2005.
Fan Care is a public-private partnership. With a grant from Dominion,
local area Agencies on Aging purchase and distribute discounted fans
provided by Wal-Mart. The discount enables more seniors to be served by the
program. Wal-Mart donated an additional 200 fans to the program for
Saturday's event.
"At Wal-Mart, we believe each store has a responsibility to contribute
to then needs of the communities we call home," said Wal-Mart
communications director Mia Masten. "We were delighted to be able to help
so many seniors receive a free fan this summer and in our twelve years
participating in the Fan Care program."
Last summer 1,447 Virginia seniors in need received fans through the
Fan Care program.
"Fan Care allows two major businesses -- Dominion and Wal-Mart -- to
join forces and assist our senior population in a meaningful way," said Eva
Hardy, senior vice president-External Affairs & Corporate
Communications-Dominion.
Dominion donates $50,000 annually to the Fan Care program, most of
which goes toward the purchase of fans. A portion of those funds are used
for the purchase of air-conditioners for clients with serious health
problems.
Local Area Agencies on Aging administer Fan Care by screening
applicants and distributing fans. If you know of someone who may qualify,
contact the Virginia Department for the Aging at 1-800-552-3402.
During these hottest days of summer, Dominion and Wal-Mart urge all
residents -- especially older adults and young children -- to take
precautions when going out in the heat and to limit outdoor activities. To
stay safe in extremely high temperatures:
-- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity. If you must work outside, take
frequent breaks and drink plenty of fluids. Do not wait until you are
thirsty.
-- Stay indoors in a cool place, especially during the afternoon when
temperatures are highest.
-- If you must go outdoors, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Try
to wear natural products such as cotton and avoid synthetics.
-- Be especially sensitive to pets, allowing them to stay inside when
possible and keep them hydrated with plenty of water.
