As we enjoy these beautiful summer days, we forget that it won’t be too long until it is time to turn on the furnace and warm up the house.  Once again, St. Vincent de Paul-Detroit has been awarded money to help eligible persons or families with energy assistance.  This year the grant is 5 million dollars.  We are awaiting the word on when the training will be offered to SVdP volunteers to write the applications and how soon the funding will be available.  In the past, St. Clare has started working with clients in late October and continued until the money runs out—usually in late May.
