Western Maine Community Action in East Wilton has received additional funding for heating assistance.

This is an important but time-limited resource outside of LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program), so residents are encouraged to utilize it while it is available, according to a news release from the Farmington-based Franklin County Emergency Management Agency.

The funding is meant for households over the income limit for LIHEAP, but still under 300 percent of poverty.

If eligibility requirements are met, a purchase order will be sent to the vendor with a credit to the account.

To apply, call Western Maine Community Action at 207-645-3764; the entire application is done over the phone.
