Senior Citizens, Inc., kicked off its annual fan drive at its headquarters located at 3025 Bull St. Employees from the Victory Drive Home Depot delivered more than 200 fans purchased with a $3,000 donation from the Sea Island Bank employees and customers. Home Depot is providing the fans at a deep discount to help SCI maximize the number of seniors served.
 
Summer Angels, middle school students from local schools who volunteered their time over the summer to work with area seniors as part of a two-week long camp organized by SCI, were on hand to help unload the fans from the Home Depot truck.
