Our CARES team at Loaves & Fishes has been busy responding to the need for emergency assistance in our community. They receive about twenty-five calls a day from residents who need help paying their rent and utilities. Because of the cold weather, some utility companies have granted relief; however, people are struggling to keep up with their bills. Loaves & Fishes is currently offering assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
This program helps families with home energy costs. Counselors are available at our High Grove location to help eligible families. Appointments can be made by calling (630) 355-3663.
We rely on support from the community as well as our partnerships with the City of Naperville and other agencies to provide assistance. We are very grateful for this generosity.
