National Grid gives $155K for home heating
United Way of Central Massachusetts has received a $155,000 gift from National Grid to help heat the homes of low-income families in the region, United Way announced Monday.
The money will go directly to the Worcester Community Action Council’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), according to a statement from United Way.
“Given the recent frigid weather, this donation could not have come at a better time for Worcester residents, some of whom are facing the devastating choice between heating their homes and putting food on the table,” City Manager Edward Augustus said in the statement. “I applaud National Grid for their generous and timely donation. I thank the Worcester Community Action Council for continuing to look after those who need the most help, and the United Way of Central Massachusetts, who are always among the first to step up when there is any need in our community.”
Through contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations in the region, United Way of Central Massachusetts provides resources to a number of programs at local partner agencies throughout the year.
