NOTICE FOR FRIDAY JULY 4th:
All LEO offices and services will be closed for Independence Day. Thank you!

Dear LEO Community:

With ongoing reductions to the federal workforce, it is reasonable to be unsure if the programs you and your family rely on are still available. LEO is very much open. Early Head Start and Head Start classrooms are bustling, all branches of Community Services (HEAP/Home Energy Assistance, VITA, Rental Assistance, Food Distribution, Homelessness Supports) are up, operating, and providing opportunities for our community to thrive. We are all in, nothing has changed about how we support, educate and care for our community.

If we know more, we will share more, that is our pledge to our clients, families and staff.

Thank you for trusting LEO Inc.

Birgitta S. Damon, CEO

Warmth is a Necessity

Louis (94) and Marilyn (86) live in a cozy lakeside cabin they purchased together in the 60s. Louis, a Veteran of the US Navy, and Marilyn, a retired registered nurse. Both career professionals, now living as most seniors do, on a fixed income. Louis came to learn about LEO’s fuel assistance program through his local senior center. When he brought the news home to Marilyn she was less interested. “I am a proud person, and believe we should all be responsible for ourselves.”

With the rising cost of fuel, and all the other personal and household line items to budget, it became clear a bit of help would ease their burden. Today, they live simply but comfortably, and they don’t make dangerous choices with how and even if to heat their home. They also feel grateful for the support. Louis offered, “Here’s what I know about fuel assistance: When the stack of bills comes, and you open one and it reads ‘PAID,’ well that is a good feeling.”

LEO prides itself on delivering this same support to individuals, families, renters, homeowners, employed, or unemployed. We serve so many, but are standing by to serve so many more. Let Louis and Marilyn serve as inspiration; a couple of satisfied clients.
