This winter when the temperature drops you can
help someone less fortunate keep warm through
the
Share the Warmth program.
Who We Are
Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren) established Share the Warmth, a private foundation, to assist income-eligible households with energy conservation measures to reduce their utility bills. Each year, Vectren matches all public donations, up to an annual total of $200,000. Donations may be tax-deductible. Please contact your tax advisor or go to www.irs.gov.
How We Help
Share the Warmth funds are distributed annually to the Indiana Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program. This weatherization initiative is designed to offer comprehensive long-term energy conservation benefits to single family homeowners that meet the state and federal guidelines for low-income.
The goal is to make homes safe, comfortable and energy efficient while saving the home owner money. Weatherization services vary with each home, depending on home construction and condition. A trained energy auditor visits the home to determine the energy improvements needed to make the home more energy efficient and utility bills more affordable. A crew of trained specialists then makes the needed improvements. Weatherization efforts ultimately reduce household energy use and lead to lower utility bills.
Common Weatherization Measures:
- Insulating walls and attics
- Repairing and tuning up the furnace or installing a new unit
- Weather-stripping doors and caulking windows
- Insulating water heaters, pipes and hot air ducts
- Repairing broken windows or installing replacement windows
Recipients of Share the Warmth Inc. dollars must be at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines and can apply by visiting their local Community Action Agency.
