SEASONAL FUEL ASSISTANCE FIRST APPLICATION DEADLINE SEPT. 2!

[SusieJ]

Hello Neighbors:
I wanted to alert people and spread the word that the first fuel assistance application deadline is September 2 --If you know people that may qualify for help paying for fuel/heating this winter -- PLEASE urge them to apply. The only way to qualify for CRISIS fuel assistance when winter comes is if you have already applied for seasonal fuel assistance. MANY VERMONTERS do not realize this. I am working with a Food & Fuel workgroup to get the word out.

Visit http://www.dcf.state.vt.us/esd/fuel_assistance to apply or learn more. You can also call 1-800-479-6151. Another helpful website on this issue is http://www.liheapch.acf.hhs.gov/profiles/Vermont.htm

Please help spread the word in our community -- even if people think they may not qualify they should still apply.

Thanks very much!
