The United Way of Lamar County (UWLC) is once again spearheading an initiative to collect and distribute space heaters for those in need during the winter season. Executive Director Jenny Wilson highlighted the critical importance of the effort, emphasizing the impact on residents without access to adequate heating.
"We have many residents in our county that simply don’t have heat. When the temperatures drop below freezing, it isn’t safe for these families," stated Wilson. Reflecting on last winter's success, she added, "Last winter, we collected nearly 100 space heaters and gave those out to families and individuals without heat."
