Title, Order
Accepting a $5,000 Donation from the Barbara Cassidy Foundation to Provide Heating Assistance to Bangor
Residents in Need who do not Qualify for Other Forms of Assistance
This order will accept a donation in the amount of $5,000 from the Barbara Cassidy Foundation to
provide heating assistance to Bangor residents. In 2019, the Trustees of the Barbara Cassidy
Foundation indicated their intent to make an annual distribution in support of heating assistance in
Bangor. The City's heating assistance program is administered by Health and Community Services
and provides periodic assistance to residents in need who do not qualify for other assistance due to
their income level. This program has made a significant difference to those households requiring
assistance.
