How You Can Help Prevent A Fuel Crisis
This year with home heating prices at record highs, many residents of New England are having to make a choice; heat or eat. Some have called it a quiet storm but for social workers in northern states there is nothing quiet about it. A large percentage of the elderly and those living on fixed incomes are afraid that they will not be able to afford to heat their homes.
