The Breakfast Exchange Club of Greater Haverhill this week stepped up with $12,000 to help ensure older residents in need receive help paying for this winter’s heating bills.
Breakfast Exchange Club members presented the check Tuesday to Community Action CEO Kerri Sheeran Perry. Community Action of Haverhill is designated to administer the federally and state-funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
Club leaders said, “This generous contribution will help provide warmth, comfort and peace of mind to members of our community who are struggling with heating costs.”
The Club said Perry spoke with Exchangites about the growing need for fuel assistance and the challenges many people will face in keeping their homes warm during the colder months.
