One local organization is donating air conditioners to help the area's most vulnerable residents beat the heat.

Community Action of Northeast Indiana, or CANI, is giving away AC units to parents of young children and the elderly.

Summer heat is the second biggest weather-related killer. Last year, more than 200 people in the US died from heat-related illness.

You can apply for assistance at CANI's offices on Washington Street in Downtown Fort Wayne. Applicants must be at least 60 years old, or have a child under the age of five.
