Even though temperatures are still warm and balmy, winter is on its way. If you need assistance with heating your home with firewood, propane, oil, or electricity, you are urged to call the Low Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program at 1-888-524-5705.

LIHEAP is a program that has helped many of our friends and neighbors over the years. The application process is a simple one that is initiated by calling the toll-free number. It is important to begin the process as soon as possible so that you’ll be cozy when those chilly winds start rattling your windowpanes.
