Thank you to all who participated and donated to the 2009 Walk for Warmth, which raised $45,000 for energy assistance programs. Click here to see 2009 walk summary.

******************************

Every year thousands of families and older neighbors in our community struggle to heat and cool their homes.

Black Hills Energy, Metropolitan Utilities District, Omaha Public Power District, and their customers provide energy assistance to help these families, the disabled and the elderly.

The American Red Cross Heartland Chapter, the Salvation Army and the United Way of the Midlands administer the programs.

Within the past year, the energy assistance programs provided $664,187 to 2,565 households in the metro area.

Unfortunately, as generous as our community is, there is still a need. The continued funding of these programs is critical as requests continue to increase due to unexpected illness, lost jobs and difficult economic times.
