CITY OF SAN MARCOS
Beginning Nov. 1, 2024, the city of San Marcos will accept donations for its 3rd Annual Winter Heater Drive. Space heaters donated during the initiative will be distributed to residents through The Salvation Army San Marcos.
“As the colder months approach, ensuring that all our residents have access to safe and reliable heating is a priority for SMTX Utilities. By donating heaters or contributing financially, we can help ensure that those in need have access to a safe and comfortable home environment this winter,” San Marcos Electric Utilities Assistant Director Brian McHenry said. “We are grateful for the generosity shown in previous years, and we hope this year's drive will continue that tradition of kindness and support.”
Anyone interested in helping neighbors in need who do not have or cannot afford heating can purchase heaters through the SMTX Utilities Amazon wish list or make monetary donations through the online payment service Stripe, sanmarcostx. gov/AboutSMTXU. All contributions will be used to purchase new heaters for distribution to people in need of assistance. Heaters purchased through the Amazon wish list will be delivered directly to the Public Services Center, 2217 E. McCarty Lane, and distributed to members of our community.
Heaters will be accepted through Nov. 25, 2024. San Marcos residents interested in receiving a free heater are encouraged to reach out to The Salvation Army San Marcos at 512-754-8541 to get on the waitlist.
