October 16th -- Low Income Heat Assistance Program

This week's edition of Hampton Roads Topics will focus on LIHEAP, the heating assistance program for low income residents.  My guests are Karen Bradley and Duane Bourne of Virginia Natural Gas.  The company is a major supporter of LIHEAP.

The application period for LIHEAP runs through Friday, November 11th.  Applications are handled by the local offices of the Department of Social Services. 

Too often we hear stories of the less fortunate having to choose between eating and heating their homes.  For many, the decision is life threatening.  If you know of someone who may be in need of energy assistance this winter, help get them in the LIHEAP program.

This edition of Hampton Roads Topics can be heard Sunday, October 16th at 6am on these stations:  Star 1310, ESPN Radio 94.1, 97.3 The Eagle and 92.9 The Wave.
