The weather is turning cold fast and through the upcoming winter months hundreds of families in Aroostook County will struggle to pay their energy bills. Nationally one in five households live in fuel poverty, which means a household cannot keep their homes adequately warm or safe at a reasonable cost. Aroostook County sees an even higher then average rate and this year it is anticipated that the need will be even greater.
We are so greatful to United Way of Aroostook and WAGM TV, as well as all of the past donors for their continued partnership and support. This year is the fourth annual Helping Hands for Warm and Safe Homes Telethon. This county-wide fundraising event will take place on Thursday, November 19th from 5:30 am-8 pm, live on WAGM TV.
Help us to keep our friends, family and neighbors warm and safe in their homes.
