Group seeks donations of electric fans for needy

8/3/2005

You ve heard about their wintertime collection of blankets for the poor for more than a decade.

Now, the folks at Wrap Up Toledo want the community to help those in need make it through the rest of one of the hottest summers with at least the little bit of relief that fans can provide.

Organizer Harlan Joelson said electric fans can be dropped off at any Toledo fire station through Aug. 15. Only new fans, please not used ones.

The group will work with the United Way and other service organizations to distribute what s donated, he said.
