Pennsylvania just increased the amount of money folks can get in heating aid this winter. The money comes under the LIHEAP program. Qualified individuals can receive several hundred dollars to pay gas, oil, electric or other kinds of heating bills. The income limits are$16,245 for one person; $21,855 for a couple or $33,075 for a family of four. The deadline is April 2. For more information go here.
Without volunteers, there would be no Staying Connected. We welcome men and women of all ages and faiths who want to help their neighbors stay independent. All it takes is about two or three hours a month, although more is always welcome.
We seek those who have a compassionate concern for elders, respect various faith traditions, and are willing to work with people of different faiths or cultural background.
We offer our volunteers training and guidance as they go about their jobs. Needs include:
We’re flexible. You can volunteer as often as you like, monthly, or weekly or even more often. If you have the time, and the commitment, we’ll try to find a place for you. And we respect the fact our volunteers have other commitments and responsibilities in their lives. We don't run them ragged.
So click here. We’ll be back in touch with you soon. And no, we won't sell or give your e-mail to anyone else.
