Kentucky Gives Day: A box fan makes a big difference. During the hottest days, staying cool is a matter of safety. Extreme heat places older adults and families at risk each summer. Last year, supporters helped the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth distribute 600 fans across Nelson County. This year, the Sisters hope to raise $12,000 on May 12, 2026, for Kentucky Gives Day to provide more fans to those in need. Each fan offers safe, low-cost cooling and includes a prayer card as a sign of care and compassion. Fans will be distributed on June 18, 2026.
