Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division is kicking off its “Play It Cool” program with the donation of 200 window air-conditioning units to qualified low-income seniors and disabled residents of Shelby County.
Neighborhood Christian Center will host a screening and application process for the free units at 785 Jackson Avenue, May 10, 2015, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
To qualify, applicants must be a resident of Shelby County, a low income senior 60 years of age or older, and without operable air conditioning.
Applicants can call the Neighborhood Christian Center’s hotline number at (901) 881-6013 for a pre-recorded message detailing the necessary qualifications and credentials for eligibility.
Field inspections will be conducted by MLGW to verify that the residence meets installation requirements. Households are only eligible to receive an air conditioner once every three years from MLGW.
