Westlake Ace Hardware contributes fans for heat relief

Kansas City, Mo. — Westlake Ace Hardware recently partnered with The Salvation Army for the 9th year of a partnership that benefits local communities by providing box fans to those in need. During the fan drive, Westlake Ace customers were asked to donate by rounding up their purchases at the register. In the span of just 18 days, $110,000 was donated at participating Westlake Ace stores nationwide. Westlake then turned customers’ donations into fans, given at cost, and added an additional 700 fans for the charity. In total, nearly 7,300 fans are being donated this summer to various Salvation Army commands to distribute to those most in need.

“Our annual Fan Drive is a testament to the generosity of our loyal customers and their willingness to help their fellow citizens,” said Andy Schmitt, vice president and COO of Westlake Ace Hardware. “At Westlake, we pride ourselves on being actively involved in the communities where we do business. We are proud to facilitate the fan drive and do our part to provide life-saving heat relief during dangerous summer temperatures.”

“Westlake Ace Hardware again has come alongside The Salvation Army to provide heat relief for vulnerable families and individuals,” said Commissioner Kenneth G. Hodder, National Commander of The Salvation Army. “With millions more in need due to the pandemic, the significance of their generous contribution for heat relief cannot be overstated, and we’re deeply grateful.”
