MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Due to COVID, this year more than ever people may be in need of help to pay their monthly energy bills.
Minnesota Valley Action Council wants everyone to know, help is available through their Energy Assistance program. The program provides a grant for income-eligible households, funds that are used to pay for heat or gas. This leaves more of the family resources available for other expenses, like rent or food. MVAC says many people may be qualifying for the first time.
