In a season known for its chill, warmth is more than just a comfort—it’s a necessity. This December 2, Local 4 is teaming up with The Heat and Warmth Fund (THAW) to host the “Go 4 It: Gift of Warmth Telethon,” a crucial initiative aimed at providing relief for families struggling with utility bills during the harsh winter months. The telethon runs from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., ensuring that help is available when it’s needed most.
THAW has a remarkable track record, allocating over 80% of its donations directly to services that aid those in dire need. The organization’s various assistance programs are tailored to help vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and families facing overwhelming water bill costs. Last winter, THAW rose to the occasion by providing over $8.6 million in utility assistance, serving a staggering 11,000 households throughout Michigan.
The commitment to supporting families is at the heart of THAW’s mission. As the cold creeps in, the urgency for these services grows. The telethon serves as a rallying point for the community to come together and contribute to a cause that directly impacts the lives of many. Every dollar raised by the Gift of Warmth Telethon will go towards keeping the lights on and the heat running for families who rely on this essential support.
Tune in on December 2 to lend your support and be part of a transformative initiative that ensures warmth and safety for those who need it most this winter!
