I worked The Heat and Warmth Fund's (THAW) Annual Radio-thon in 2009 and 2010. THAW provides low income individuals and families throughout the state of Michigan with utility assitance during the winter months. They assist customers year-round with their utility bills and help them gain awareness on how to better their conditions and circumstances. I must say that the extraordinary work this organization provides year-round is second to none. They are a leader in energy assitance and will continue to serve those in need in our community.
