We're improving the lives of the most vulnerable people in our community by supporting efforts that provide food, clothing, shelter and services that keep them safe and healthy.
To get there, we work with programs, partnerships and agency services that invest in information services, transitional shelters and housing, food programs and emergency assistance.
Indy EAP (Energy Assistance Program) assists individuals and families with the high costs of home energy so they can live comfortably in Central Indiana.
Based on household size, as well as housing income and status, eligible families receive a one-time benefit paid to the utility company to offset the high cost of winter utility bills.
For more information about the Energy Assistance Program, dial 2-1-1 or visit indyeap.org to schedule an appointment.

For Marion County residents the Winter Assistance Fund runs from January to April, and helps those who can’t afford heat and electricity, but don’t qualify for the government’s Low Income Energy Assistance Program.
