The drive will be held in the company s 121 stores nationwide from June 3 through 20.
During the fan drive, Westlake Ace customers are asked to donate by rounding up their purchases at the register. All donations go toward buying new box fans for the Hutchinson Salvation Army.
Last year, local customers donated more than $1,700, equating to 137 fans given to the local Salvation Army for distribution to fellow citizens.
“Every year, our customers amaze us with their generous support of the fan drive. By simply rounding up their purchase they are helping people stay cool during the hot summer months,” said Andy Schmitt, vice president and COO of Westlake Ace Hardware. “We are very proud to sponsor the fan drive and help supply fans for The Salvation Army to give to those in need.”
