Blue Ridge Community Action serves Mecklenburg and seven surrounding counties. The assistance is for low-income families. For example, a family of four with an income of $52,400 or less would qualify.

They do free heating systems or repair broken heating systems. They also provide insulations, air sealing and weather stripping.

Because of the pandemic, they have not been able to hold events in person but they are always looking for people to apply.
