Coastline Elderly Services, Inc. is providing assistance to older people in the communities of Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester who need help with paying the heat or electric bills.
The funds will pay for gas, electric, propane, wood, or other heating needs, to help reduce the financial burden for many elders who have difficulty with these purchases.
Income eligibility limits are based on pre-taxed monthly income and are set at $2,510 for a household of one person; $3,407 for a household of two people; $4,303 for a three-person household; and $5,200 for a four-person household.
Please contact the Council on Aging in each town to complete a simple application. Only one older person in the household who qualifies for this program, will receive a one-time assistance of $300.
For the Council on Aging in Marion, please call 508-748-3570; in Mattapoisett, 508- 758-4110, and in Rochester, 508-763-8723.
Funding for this project was made possible by the George E. Curtis Charitable Trust.
