Lincoln County Television & Media Center is non-profit, public access, community media for and about the citizens of Lincoln County, Maine

Hello Claire,

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope you spend today with people you love, and show your affection with roses or chocolate or whatever is most meaningful.

Around here, a gesture of love also looks like helping people stay warm by adding to the woodpile, making sure propane tanks are full, and helping weather proof homes. That's what the terrific folks at the non-profits Community Energy Fund (since 2006) and Community Housing Improvement Project (CHIP) (since 1984) are all about.

This Friday's Community Conversations show at 7pm brings together these two organizations plus Maine State Representative Lydia Crafts (photo above) to talk about the need for heating relief in our community, and the $450 heating fuel relief checks coming to many Mainers.

Host Marva Nesbit sits down with Crafts, Robert Clifford from the Community Energy Fund, and Brittany Gill from CHIP to suggest that people who are fortunate enough to not need heating relief might gift this check. A donation to the Community Energy Fund or CHIP can provide materials and supplies for the urgent repair of a neighbor’s home, or provide heating oil, or a load of firewood to keep someone warm in the colder months - right here in Lincoln County.
