The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program will soon be getting underway.

Red Rock Area Community Action Program Coordinator Nancy Hulgan says the program helps those having problems paying their energy bills during the winter months and is for anyone who meets the 150 percent of poverty income guidelines. The program helps bring relief to families so they won’t lose heat or power during the cold winter months.

Applications will be accepted for the elderly and disabled beginning October 1st. Contact the Red Rock Area Community Action Program at the location on 3014 E. Main St in Knoxville or call 641-842-6571 for information.
