Who is eligible to receive help with food or a utility bill?
Seniors fifty five (55) and older who demonstrate an urgent need
for either food or help with a utility bill are eligible for

Individuals requesting help with their utility bill (gas, electric,
water and sewer) must exhaust all other resources and are limited
to one month's cost in a 12 month period per family. Additionally,
assistance must guarantee additional 30-day service. Copy of
past-due bill and metered utility verification form, as well
