With the cold weather approaching, Derby residents might need some support with their energy bill, and the Department of Child and Family Services is here to help! The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) is a Federally funded program that provides financial assistance to Kansas low-income households each year to help them meet the costs of home energy. Program Administrator Maria Bocco-Oyler will be available in the computer lab to help residents with their LIEAP online application and to answer any questions.
