With the April 30 deadline fast approaching, Massachusetts residents still have time to apply for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) – a critical resource that helps eligible households pay for winter heating costs.
This free statewide program provides grants (that do not need to be repaid) directly to heating providers, helping renters and homeowners keep their homes safe and warm. Households do not need to be on public assistance or have unpaid bills to qualify.
Residents can explore eligibility and apply online at: https://toapply.org/MassHEAP or connect with their local administering agency for support.
The Halifax Police Department is announcing its third year partnering with the Flutie Foundation, a leading non-profit in the autism community, by selling Halifax Police collectible autism awareness patches throughout the month of April. All proceeds go towards the Flutie Foundation and their efforts to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Autism.
Autism awareness patches will be sold for $10 and can be purchased online using the link below or in-person at the Police Station, 540 Plymouth St. during normal business hours; Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Patches ordered online will mailed to the address provided on the order form.
Over its twenty (20) year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $15 million to schools and organizations that provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports, and more for people affected by autism. The Flutie Foundation also provides education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, and direct family support services through its partnerships and special initiatives.
