When the temperature plunges many people just crank up the thermostat, but that can be too costly for seniors and other people on a fixed or limited budget.

There are assistance programs aimed to help those in need this winter. Community Action Partnership of Suburban Hennepin is an organization that works with groups in Hennepin County to help improve the lives of low-income people.
