Operation Fan Heat Relief (OFHR) has provided free fans during the summer for those 60 and older whose health, safety and comfort is at risk from extended heat in their home. Recently, contributors have allowed fans to be given to adults with disabilities under the age of 60 as well as air conditioners to adults with more severe health issues, as noted by their doctor. OFHR has no federal, state or local funding.  The private contributors (Dominion NC Power, Duke Energy, Progress Energy and Valassis Corp.) provide policies and designate eligibility criteria for adults living in their service area.  Money is not used for direct cash assistance, payment of utility bills or administrative costs.  Adults living in the service area of one of the private contributors may apply for this assistance through local aging offices.
