The Heat Aid Fund was established by M.U.D. in 1983 and is administered by the Salvation Army. The Fund has served nearly 25,000 older and physically/mentally challenged customers since its inception.
How it works:
If you need help to pay heating bills, the first step is to contact the Nebraska Energy Assistance Program at 402.595.3608.
Guidelines:
- Recipients must have received a shut off notice and are unable to qualify for assistance under other governmental programs.
- The applicant must reside in the District's service area, be age 60 or older or disabled (proof of disability is required).
- No more than $350 per household in a heating season.
- Applicants have to work with the Salvation Army on general budgeting skills and have a consistent payment history.
- Applicants who receive significant assistance from other agencies may not be eligible for Heat Aid.
