Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas are encouraging qualifying customers to submit their Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Share the Warmth applications if they need help paying their natural gas bills this heating season. The companies’ Share the Warmth grants are available year-round for eligible customers.  Both programs provide grants to customers struggling to pay outstanding utility bills, reconnect service, and maintain natural gas service. “More than 77,000 Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas households received approximately $26.6 million in LIHEAP and Share the Warmth grants during the 2017-2018 heating season,” said Michelle Rindt, vice president – customer engagement, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas. “We have funds to help those in need and we urge our customers to contact us or an assistance agency to learn more about our Share the Warmth program and other financial assistance available to those who are eligible.” For more information about financial assistance, billing options and saving energy, visit peoplesgasdelivery.com or northshoregasdelivery.com
