RECare is a voluntary energy assistance program that offers funds to local families who need assistance with their heating bills. Your contribution can help one of these local families!

You may make a one-time contribution, or you may make a monthly pledge. If you choose to make a monthly pledge, we can set it up as part of your energy bill. Even a dollar a month pledge or contribution of any amount will help others!

Who Receives Assistance?

  • Contributions are distributed locally in our service area.

How Do You Sign Up?

  • Download the RECare Contribution Form. 

Please return to our office by fax 1-844-605-1882, mail it in or bring it in to our office.

For more information about this program call us at 641-932-7126 or 800-475-1702. 

LIHEAP helps qualifying low-income Iowa households by paying a portion of their heating costs for the winter heating season. Annually published guidelines set forth the requirements for energy assistance. The program's energy crisis intervention components are designed to provide immediate response to alleviate potentially life-threatening situations, and the client education component of the program provides funds for activities that encourage regular utility payments, promote energy awareness and encourage reduction of energy use through energy efficiency, client education and weatherization.

Applications for the LIHEAP program are accepted on a first come/first served basis at application sites from November 1 - April 30 (October 1 for households with elderly/disabled member), Monday through Friday, or as posted at the local office.
