A local business has rallied with two non-profit agencies to help Horry County seniors beat the heat this summer.
The Myrtle Beach Storage & Business Centre, the Conway Senior Center and the Horry County Council on Aging are collecting box fans and window air conditioner units.
The Marketing Director of the Myrtle Beach Storage & Business Centre thought of the idea after seeing a news story about how the elderly are having a hard time staying cool in the hot weather. Kim Herd passed her idea along to the Senior Center and Council on Aging, and both were on board to help.
The Horry County Council on Aging said keeping the elderly cool can be especially challenging, especially with a heat index of 110 degrees or more. Window air conditioner units would be put to good use and are much needed.
All three locations will be collecting donations throughout the summer.
