As quarantining at home continues, utility bills are bound to be higher. Saunteel Jenkins, CEO of THAW, says there is no shame in asking for assistance.
Jenkins said she had a conversation with administrators from Henry Ford Hospital about the challenges some workers are facing with paying their bills. That led the non-profit to extend its services during the C
OVID-19 pandemic.
“One of the things this crisis has shown is that we’re all vulnerable,” Jenkins said.
She tells 7 Action News THAW has been helping low-income residents and seniors with their utility bills for 35 years. Starting Wednesday, Jenkins says essential workers facing hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic can apply for a new Utility Relief Program as well.
