It happens every year around this time. Temperatures and humidity go on the rise, making it tough to deal with the extreme heat, especially for seniors and those without adequate cooling at their places of residence. It is the “Dog Days of Summer.”

This past week, Entergy came to the rescue of local seniors suffering through the sometimes intolerable conditions by donating $500.00 to the Jackson Council on Aging, which used the money to purchase fans to be distributed to those in need. 

“We are extremely grateful for their generosity in supporting us and our local residents,” said Jackson Council on Aging Director Linda Wyatt.
