| Dear TRRCOPO, The holiday season has passed and the new year is upon us. We want to take this time to thank you for being a part of our team in 2022 and we hope you will continue to make us a part of your routine for 2023. Watch for big things on the horizon. Sincerely, TRRC Team |
The first big thing we have coming up is our Souper Bowl of Caring campaign that will kick off (pun definitely intended) as we approach the Super Bowl. Watch for more information on how you can help with this food drive and donate to TRRC to help us continue in our efforts to grow the community. |

| The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) started September 1, 2022, for all income-eligible households. Applications will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis through May 31, 2023. Households must be at or below 200% of the federal poverty level to receive a benefit from this program. The 30-day income guidelines for LIHEAP are based on Federal Poverty Guidelines, State Median Income and the number of persons living in the household. The income guidelines are as follows: 1-$2,265, 2-$3,052, 3-$3,838, 4-4,625. Check out the LIHEAP link for more information. LIHEAP provides one-time benefits to income eligible homeowners and renters to help with energy bills and for reconnection of energy service. Call (217) 224-8171 or email at info@trrcopo.org to schedule an appointment. |
