IMPACT Community Action Partnership and area fire departments have partnered to collect fans and window air conditioners for local families. The community is invited to donate new fans and/or window air conditioners in unopened boxes by dropping them off at any City of Des Moines, Urbandale, Altoona or Hartford fire station. Donations will be taken to IMPACT’s offices for distribution. “We typically have funding available to assist with cooling needs, however an increased demand during the winter months for heating assistance has depleted our funds. This year we will be relying on the community to assist struggling families with keeping cool,” Anne Bacon, CEO of IMPACT, said in a statement.
