In 2021, Project Cool Breeze (PCB) provided over 500 fans and/or air conditioner units to seniors, veterans, and individuals with chronic medical conditions within the Lowcountry and surrounding areas during pandemic. For the past 2 years, PCB moved the distribution outdoors to provide a safe process for seniors and volunteers. All of which would not have been possible without the ongoing sponsorship from Dominion Energy, Boeing, Lowe’s West Ashley, Palmetto Goodwill Industries, Nucor, local radio and television stations, local churches, individual donors, and more! We thank you for your continued dedication towards our annual program initiatives. We welcome additional sponsors and volunteers to better service our target populations.
Project Cool Breeze continues to serve communities in need.
In 2020, Project Cool Breeze gained new partnerships with new organizations. The non-profit organization continues to seek additional sponsors to help expand the reach for providing food and resources to deserving communities in rural areas. To date, Project Cool Breeze has provided many seniors, veterans, homeless families and citizens, individuals with chronic medical conditions, and the less fortunate with necessary resources to keep them cool, warm, healthy, alive and last but not least – filled with hope.
Project Cool Breeze continues to extend the invitation to all those seeking to volunteer with us.
Project Cool Breeze is a not for profit organization.
All donations and funding we receive goes toward the furtherance of our mission and toward our 4 annual program initiatives.

Obstacles cause distractions, eliminate obstacles – no more distractions.
The power to achieve all that you want in this world begins with a measure of hope. Obstacles may be minimal or extreme, but hope will cause you to be resilient.
Project Cool Breeze provides the open door for hope.
