ASHLAND COUNTY- HEAP Clinic October 14th!

Do you know of someone who needs help paying their high utility bills this winter?
The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is designed to help eligible Ohioans meet the high costs of home heating. If they are eligible for assistance, the amount of the one-time HEAP benefit will depend on how many people live in the home, total household income, and the primary fuel source. In most cases, the one-time benefit will be a credit applied to your energy bill by your utility company (or fuel vendor).

Ashland Ohio Benefit Bank counselors will be screening those who are interested for eligibility in HEAP, food assistance and other OBB benefits on October 14th at the Ashland County Council on Aging (240 East 3rd Street in Ashland). Screening and application completion will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Walk-ins are welcome! Advanced screening and appointments can be made by contacting Jessie Barth, Ohio Benefit Bank Community Organizer, at 419-522-5612 ext.1168.
