There's still time to apply for LIHEAP assistance!

LIHEAP still has funding! They will continue to take applications until August 14, 2026. This for households that have not yet applied for assistance since October 1, 2025. (This is NOT a summer program. This is a continuation of the winter program.) Visit cefseoc.org/liheap and select your county to schedule an appointment!

If you have already applied and do not know the status of your application, contact your CEFS Outreach Office for more information.

Let's continue to keep the waitlist cleared!

The need for senior nutrition assistance is still there. We get calls weekly about adding more seniors to the program.

It's because of our generous communities that we were able to clear our waitlist earlier this year. Can you help us keep the waitlist clear?

Donations can be made by mail to CEFS Economic Opportunity Corporation, 1805 S. Banker Street, Effingham, IL 62401 or online at cefseoc.org/mealsonwheels

Thank you for being a community that makes a difference. πŸ’™
