GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay and Wisconsin Public Service are teaming up to fight winter energy costs.
Tuesday, WPS presented 100 Weatherization Kits to the Salvation Army’s west side location at 626 Union Court.
Salvation Army County Coordinator, Major Bob Mueller, says the donation will provide families with the necessary tools to keep their homes energy efficient.
“It’s going to reduce their utility bills and help them be able to afford food, clothing, and whatever else they may need,” said Mueller. “This could save them pennies, dollars…we don’t know what the end will be but every dollar they save will be appreciated.”
The kits, valued at $20 each, include two 9.5-watt LED light bulbs, two window insulation shrink kits, one roll v-seal weather, one LED nightlight, eight switch and light gaskets and information on energy savings and bill payment options.
If you’re interested in a kit, call the Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay at 920-497-7053 and speak with a case worker.
“It’s a great, great gift to the community and we want to thank WPS once again for their generosity and support,” Mueller said.
