Project Cool Breeze

Thanks to the support of LSN members the first Community Outreach project was a cool success. As participants we reached into our community to provide at-risk seniors with air conditioners. Knowing the sweltering heat and humidity of lowcountry summers, these seniors greatly appreciated such generous donations. Having volunteered at Brittlebank Park for the distribution of units, I can attest first hand at the gratefulness and thankfulness bubbling from each senior recipient.

Our organization donated a total of 51 air conditioning units. A special THANK YOU goes to the businesses who were so very generous:

In conjunction with donating a/c units, there were those who donated their time as volunteers. A total of 40 hours were volunteered!! To the following individuals: Thank you for your gift of time!

Again, thanks to all of you who helped make this a grand success.
