To be eligible for RECare assistance, RVEC members must apply through their local community action agency for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Even if your income exceeds the LIHEAP guidelines, you still must apply—RECare funds cannot be distributed without approval from a community action agency.

To find your local agency, visit: https://hhs.iowa.gov/programs/programs-and-services/liheap

RECare is made possible through the generosity of RVEC members like you. Contributions can be made in two easy ways:

1. A one-time donation
2. A monthly amount added to your electric bill

Every dollar stays local and helps fellow co-op members stay safe and warm during Iowa winters.
