Last Day to Apply for LIHEAP this program year, that started in October of 2023, is August 15, 2024 – Assisting Southernmost Illinois Residents with Heating Expenses

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps eligible low-income households pay for home energy services (primarily heating during winter months).

Energy costs can place severe and continuing stress on a family’s budget. In some instances, households are forced to make painful decisions regarding which bills to pay and which necessities to survive without.

Illinois residents with a household income that does not exceed an amount determined annually by the Department of Commerce are eligible.

Annual eligibility levels are determined based on available funding and may not exceed 200% of the federal nonfarm poverty level.

To speak directly with a representative of Shawnee Development Council regarding what programs you may be eligible for call the Massac County Office at (618) 524-2941

 

Last Fall as this year’s program got underway, WMOK spoke with Stephanie Eskridge of Shawnee Development to hear more about LIHEAP and their multitude of other programs.  Hear our full discussion in the Soundcloud player below:

Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

Friday, August 16th at 5:30PM

Friday, August 16th at 5:30PM – Bring your appetite and your family and friends! It’s time to raise money for Weekend Blessings in Metropolis. This event is donation-based, so any amount you wish to contribute helps!
You’ll enjoy Spaghetti, Salad, Bread, Dessert and a Drink at the donation amount of your choice.
Too many children in Massac County spend weekends hungry. That’s why the Weekend Blessings program was started at First United Methodist Church. Each Wednesday, volunteers gather at church to stuff back packs with good, wholesome, food for children to take home on Friday so they have food to eat on the weekend when they are not provided breakfasts and lunches by their school.
