“Give-it-Away” Sunday
In December, your gifts will be shared between two organizations: CAPHR – The Gift of Warmth.
Community Action Partnership Hillsborough and Rockingham counties (CAPHR) administers the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), also known as Fuel Assistance, which provides elderly, handicapped and low-income residents with the financial assistance necessary to meet vital heating and utility expenses. This important program is funded in part by the Department of Health and Human Services. Since it is intended to supplement a household’s heating, it is sometimes not enough for the most vulnerable of households. Additionally, it is an eligibility program so not all who apply are eligible. There are always a significant number of individuals and families who do not qualify because they are just over the income guidelines but desperately need help with their fuel and utility bills due to reasons
such as extreme medical costs or job loss.
Donations to the Gift of Warmth program allow assistance to households who still need help, as well as to households who have exhausted their Fuel Assistance benefits and are in dire need of additional fuel. This winter is particularly difficult due to the extremely cold temperatures this season and it is estimated that many will exhaust their FAP benefits much more quickly this year.
Please make checks payable to CAPHR – Gift of Warmth and be sure to write Gift of Warmth in the memo line as well. (If you make your check payable to Rockingham Community Action it will still be acceptable as, even though the name was changed, the previous name is still acceptable.) Thank you for your support!
