BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Brookings Police Department announced they are launching a “Sand for Seniors” program in the city of Brookings.
Slips and falls are a concern for members of the community and first responders during winter months.
A member of the police department will deliver a bucket of sand to senior residents who are physically unable to get a bucket of sand on their own.
The department says any senior citizen or a family member who is interested in the program should call 605-692-2113 to request a bucket of sand.
The department would like to thank Lowe’s Home Improvement who partnered with the department by donating the blue buckets which helped make this program possible.
