BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO.com) – The Brookings Police Department is excited to partner with the Brookings Lowe’s Home Improvement to bring back the Sand for Seniors program.
The department says winter weather can create hazardous conditions, and icy sidewalks, steps and walkways causing an increase in the risk of slips and falls.
Through this program, officers will deliver a bucket of sand to senior residents who are physically unable to obtain one themselves.
Beyond helping prevent falls, this program also gives our officers an opportunity to connect with senior members of our community and check in with residents we may not otherwise have the chance to meet.
Senior residents or family members can call the Brookings Police Department at 605-692-2113 to request a bucket of sand.
If you have a bucket from a previous year that needs to be refilled, give the Brookings Police Department a call, they will arrange a refill!
