CAP Energy Assistance Funds Running Out

Mid-Columbia Community Action is struggling to keep up with the number of people needing help to pay their winter power bills to keep their homes warm.  Reductions in funding for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program have restricted the amount of the money Community Action has available to distribute.  CAP Executive Director Jim Slusher talked with the Northern Wasco PUD Board recently about the problem, to make them aware of the issue,   As of early March there were 230 households on a waiting list for assistance in Wasco County, and 205 in Hood River County.  Donations to help in this effort can be made by going online to mccac.com.
