- Summer in West Texas can be deadly. Temperatures inside closed
- homes can reach 110 degrees. Many of these homes have no air
- conditioning. Therefore CSS for the last five years has held a summer
- fan drive. The Fan Drive is an effort aimed at community support to
- gather as many fans and air coolers during the summer months for
- homebound low-income clients helping them better survive summer.

- This year's fan drive was held at Lowe's Home Improvement parking lot. With the help of KNFM Radio and Cumulus Broadcasting's live broadcast, Lowe's customers see the need, buy a fan and donate the fan on the spot. A highlight of this year's drive was an anonymous donation of $800 helping to buy air coolers installed by CSS handymen.
