December was a cold one!  The single digit temps and sub-zero wind chills had your heater running non-stop to keep you warm. Utility bills are now making their way into our emails and mail boxes.

No surprise!  The C.U. bills are lots higher than we have seen for a while.

Many of us, may need some help paying these higher utility bills.  You can actually contact one of these organizations for assistance.

• “Heat Share”– assists with heating and cooling bills and is associated with the Salvation Army. Go HERE if you need help with  emergency repairs to furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters.
• Missouri Low Income Energy Assistance Program – can also help you pay a portion of your winter heating cost.
• Missouri Weatherization Assistance Program – Can help you reduce higher utility bills thru a federal grant by making your home more energy efficient.
