Starting today, qualifying residents can get help with their heating and electric bills. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has begun for the winter. The federally-funded program runs from now until the middle of May, and residents can apply at any time.
Volunteers to Offer Free Tax Help for Qualifying Taxpayers
Free tax help is available to some low-income taxpayers. People making $54,000 or less, as well as those with disabilities, the elderly, and those speaking limited amounts of English, are eligible for free help through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
Warming Centers Available in Local Communities
With cold weather continuing, local communities are taking steps to make sure residents have a warm place to stay. In Plymouth, the Webster Center at 110 Webster Avenue is serving as a warming center until Saturday. For access, call the Plymouth Police Department at 574-936-2126 or the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department at 574-936-3187.
