Carrier has provided HVAC equipment in support of SNASY (Special Needs Assistance Station for You), an innovative community-funded program designed to help individuals with disabilities, veterans, and the elderly more fully participate in large public events through private, climate controlled assistance stations. Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
Founded by Dale Jackson, owner of Carrier dealer Jackson Services, SNASY was created to address a critical gap in accessibility at events such as sporting games and community celebrations. The program deploys mobile, fully equipped assistance station trailers that offer dignified spaces for caregiving needs, including adult‑size changing tables, lifts, and private areas, each maintained at a comfortable temperature using high efficiency Carrier HVAC solutions.
Carrier’s support includes a gift of variable refrigerant flow (VRF) HVAC systems that help ensure SNASY trailers remain cool and comfortable in hot weather and warm during colder conditions, enabling families to focus on enjoying the event itself rather than managing environmental barriers. The equipment is currently being used at events across Alabama.
“Carrier and Mingledorff’s have been incredible in helping launch SNASY at Auburn University and expanding to Mobile,” said Jackson. “Their high efficiency HVAC solutions ensure our assistance stations provide cool, comfortable spaces for special needs families during events, making inclusion a reality. We’re grateful for their support in fostering accessible experiences for all.”
SNASY’s approach goes beyond infrastructure by restoring dignity and independence for families who often face significant logistical challenges when attending public events. By integrating thoughtful design, volunteer support, and reliable climate control, the program allows individuals with complex caregiving needs to participate in moments that were previously inaccessible.
“Accessibility is deeply personal, and it starts with listening to lived experiences,” said Paul Rebelo, Managing Director for Ductless and VRF at Carrier. “By supporting SNASY, we’re proud to help protect dignity and remove barriers that too often prevent families from fully participating in community life. This work reflects Carrier’s long‑standing commitment to improving comfort, inclusion and well‑being for the communities we serve.”
