Helping neighbors in need cool during the summer

Summer months inflict considerably high temperatures and humidity in San Antonio.  As part of a coalition with the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services, United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Charities is continuing Project Cool during this period. 

The program provides a free 20-inch box fan to adults 55 years of age or older or disabled in an effort to provide heat relief and prevent heat-related illness during the hot summer months.  A valid ID or disability verification is required for those younger than 55 years old to qualify. The goal of Project Cool is to provide a free box fan to keep seniors cool without incurring high utility bills.
