With the chilly weather behind us, rising temperatures could cause problems in the older population. But, Lima 6th Ward Councilman Derry Glenn has set out to solve it once again. Glenn delivered the first air conditioning unit to a resident in need today. This kicks off another year of the initiative to keep seniors safe from heat-related illnesses. Area residents 60 years and older are eligible to receive a free AC unit donated to the program. Glenn says every summer brings a good response, and their goal this year is 200 deliveries.

With the temperature going up, heat-related illnesses in seniors will also be on the rise. Now, the yearly AC unit donation has kicked-off in Lima.
