August is LIHEAP Action Month and ICAA recognizes and celebrates Iowa's Community Action Agencies that connect communities to energy assistance and advocate to protect this crucial lifeline.
Why is #LIHEAP so important? When home energy bills are more affordable, families are better able to meet basic needs like food, medicine, and safe, reliable housing. #ProtectLIHEAP #LIHEAPaction
