Turning up the heat shouldn’t mean turning up the worry about bills.

October is Energy Awareness Month... a good time to explore how Westbay can help keep your home warm and heating costs manageable.

Our Weatherization program helps eligible households improve energy efficiency and reduce heat loss. Our heating assistance program, LIHEAP, helps eligible households with heating costs.

Not sure where to start? Reach out to Westbay to learn about eligibility and how to apply. Asking for help is a good first step toward a warmer winter.

Visit www.westbaycap.org for more information.

Do you live in Warwick, West Warwick, or East Greenwich? We want to hear from you!

What would make life a little easier in your community? Westbay’s Community Needs Assessment survey lets you share what matters to you and helps guide our future programs and services.

Whether you’ve received help from Westbay or have never used our services, your perspective matters. The survey is confidential, and we don't need your name.

Please share this with neighbors and friends in these communities so we can hear from more people who call them home.
