Michael and Chequella Walker hosted their 10th annual fan drive on May 24, continuing their efforts to help community members stay cool during the summer months.
The event, held on Roosevelt Drive, collected electric fans and monetary donations for individuals in need. Fans were dropped off at the event location, with the Walkers accepting contributions throughout the day.
“Once again our fan drive was a great success,” Walker said. “We would like to thank everyone who dropped fans off or gave a monetary gift to help get more fans. We will begin handing fans out this week until all are gone. Thanks to all for helping with the 10th annual Michael & Chequella Walker Fan Drive. We love our ‘Small Town with a Big Heart’.”
Last year, the Walkers distributed nearly 150 fans. They are continuing to accept donations, including through Cash App, to assist residents in preparing for the summer heat.
