Fall has arrived and winter is just around the corner. If you think you may need help paying winter heating bills, check to see if you qualify for energy assistance.

ENERGYSHARE is Dominion's fuel-assistance program designed to help with a one-time payment for any heating bill.

Applicants under age 60 must have a termination notice and must have exhausted all other fuel-assistance resources. Apply through your local Salvation Army office.
