What’s happening at the EAA this Month?
Stay Warm This Winter! We Are Taking Applications for the CT Energy Assistance Program:
These government programs are designed to help offset the winter heating costs for financially eligible households so that their health is not jeopardized by the inability to afford critical heat. Please contact the EAA to schedule an appointment at 860-668-1986. More information on eligibility is available at www.ct.gov/staywarm

Assistance can be provided with any energy type – oil, electric, natural gas, kerosene, wood, propane, pellets, and other energy sources. Call the EAA or go to www.operationfuel.org for more info.
Some Ongoing Program Updates:
The Community Brought Holiday Cheer to 250 Suffield Residents:

Ninety-two Suffield households, comprised of 250 men, women and children, had a more enjoyable holiday season because of the generosity of others!
