This is the busiest time of year for the Community Services Staff. We have just completed the 2025 Fall LIHEAP Subsidy on December 12, 2025. For the 2025 Fall LIHEAP Subsidy, we assisted 2,736 families. The 2026 Winter LIHEAP Crisis began January 6, 2026, and Food Pantries have had numerous families come in. We, in the Central Office, continue to work to pay all of the vendors and balance the programs. We are in the process of completing the annual Needs Assessment Survey Process. The results of the Needs Assessment Survey will determine the work plan for the next program year. The information will also be available to other programs and to the community. To participate in the Needs Assessment Survey, please use the link below.
WNTERCARE – The Wintercare Program is available to families for utility assistance. These funds are donated by utility customers as they pay their utility bill, and sometimes matched by the utility company. This program is used for families who are over income for LIHEAP, but under 200% of the federal poverty level. These families are often the “working poor” that fall between the cracks in income level eligibility.
Thanks to all the staff members who work so hard to balance all of these different programs and assist those in need. Their extraordinary efforts are greatly appreciated. We have a great team!
