Vermonters who rely on two of Vermont's emergency fuel assistance programs might have trouble receiving help this year.
The Burlington Free Press reports the Warmth Program and the Shareheat Fund — both administered by the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) — are underfunded.
“We’ve never, ever gone into a heating season with this few resources,” says CVOEO Community Relations Director Tim Searles. “This is unprecedented."
You can send donations to Shareheat c/o CVPS, 77 Grove St., Rutland, VT 05701. Or to Warmth Program c/o CVOEO, P.O. Box 1603, Burlington, VT 15402-1603.
