The Kansas Gas Service is offering assistance to energy customers with utility payments.
Kansas Gas representatives will be teaming up with several agencies across the state for a series of events that will provide in-person assistance to customers looking to apply for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP). Kansas Gas Service Manager of Public Relations Dawn Tripp says the additional assistance comes as the gas service recognizes the difficult financial times many of their customers are undoubtedly facing.
Tripp adds the agencies they’ve teamed up with all have a shared goal of providing assistance to those in need.
The LIEAP program, administered through the Kansas Department of Children and Families, helps to pay a portion of low-income household energy costs through an annaul benefit. Service representatives will be in Emporia on Monday Feb. 13 and Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Emporia Senior Center.
The application period is now through Mar. 31. For more information or to apply for the program visit KansasGasService.com/LIEAP.
