The Social Service Committee of the SDCC will distribute weatherization kits to senior citizens who reside in the area, and will assist anyone who needs help with installation later this fall.
The weatherization kits are provided by Union Electric free of charge, and any senior citizen, tenants or property owner may receive one. U.E. provides the kits for churches, neighborhood groups, etc., who will handle distribution of them; the kits are not available to individuals directly from U.E. Among the items included in the kits are: plastic to cover windows, insulation for electric outlets and switch plates, rope caulk and door sweeps. Properly installed, these materials can substantially reduce heating and cooling costs and keep homes more comfortable year around. Chairman Wilma Cantwell asks Skinker DeBaliviere neighbors to help the committee identify households that could benefit from this program.
If you or someone you know qualifies as a senior citizen and would like to have a kit or have a kit installed by volunteers, please call SDCC, 862-5122.
