If you are struggling to pay energy bills, help is available. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Universal Service Fund (USF) have expanded to include more people at higher income levels. For example, a family of four with monthly income of $9,250.00 may be eligible and should apply for the USF. (ONLY THE LAST MONTH OF INCOME COUNTS.) If you are not eligible for LIHEAP or USF, there are moderate-income programs, such as the PAGE Grand/or NJ SHARES, which may provide the help you need.

Book Group
Hi folks,
Our next book group discussion will be on Saturday, January 28th, at 7:00PM by Zoom. We will discuss Isabel Wilkerson's 2010 National Bestseller, The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration.
It is appropriate timing since February is Black History Month, and Ms Wilkerson provides us with a compelling story of the migration of Black Americans from the American South to cities in the North and West. As part of the great scope of this monumental work she features personal stories of three individuals in particular, with differing experiences but with much in common, and provides insight into problems that still exist to this day. It is truly a compelling read and one that is sure to engage you if you have not already read it. The book is over 500 pages long, but the author is such a great story teller that it reads faster than you might expect.
All are welcome. We hope you can join us for our discussion.
Joe and Carol Sundeen
Hope to see you there.
