Our Breeze Through the Summer program is helping local seniors and individuals with disabilities stay safe and comfortable during the summer heat. We've already delivered fans to community members in need, and we're happy to continue providing this resource while supplies last.

We still have a limited number of fans available for eligible Galveston County Mainland residents ages 60 and older, with priority given to individuals with disabilities in this age group. If you or someone you know could benefit from a fan this summer, we encourage you to reach out before they're gone.

To learn more or request a fan, please contact UWGCM at 409-948-4211 or visit

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post so it reaches those who may need this resource. 💙
