Beat The Heat Fan Drive

For over 20 years, TXU Energy and United Way of Abilene have joined forces to offer much-needed relief to those most affected by the summer heat. We understand that summer in Texas can add additional financial stress, and we’re here to help.

HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT

The fan donation initiative is part of TXU Energy’s Beat the Heat program, which collaborates with community service organizations across the state. This program aims to help Texans stay cool during the summer while promoting heat safety and energy conservation. Over the years, Beat the Heat has helped thousands of Texans stay comfortable and safe.

United Way of Abilene collects the fans and distributes them through our partner agencies, which serve the most vulnerable populations. These fans are then given to families through our Basic Needs Network, a collaboration of non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting West Central Texans. If you or someone you know needs a fan, please reach out to 211 for assistance.

Fan availability is subject to change depending on the season.

Anyone needing a fan is encouraged to contact 211.

By coming together, we can help our neighbors beat the summer heat. $20 buys a 20″ box fan for a family in need to help Beat the Heat. Click the link below to donate today.
