Salvation Army beginning fan campaign

The Salvation Army will host its first "Fill the Vans With Fans" collection from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Fred's Discount Store in Cape Girardeau. It will have a van at the store to fill with new and working used fans and will accept cash donations. On Saturday, fans will be available for purchase at Fred's for a discounted rate.

The fans collected will be distributed to those in need due to the heat during "Fans for Friends" campaign. The campaign begins June 18 and continues until the fans are gone.

Beginning Monday, fans and cash donations may also be dropped off at the Salvation Army at 701 Good Hope St. Donations will be accepted through June 15.
