Free, small space heaters available through VSO, AAACOG

The Kerr County Veterans Service Office is committed to keeping its older Kerr County residents safe and warm this winter and has announced a partnership with the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) that will assist local individuals in need of safe heating for their homes.

The Warm Hearts Warm Homes program will provide small space heaters at no cost to individuals 60 years and older and/or caregivers 55 years and older who do not have any other safe heat source in their residence.  Please note that a stove is not considered an approved heating source under the program’s guidelines.

“Supplies are limited, and heaters will be distributed on a first-come, first served basis to qualifying Kerr County individuals,” said Kerr County Veterans Service Officer Jenna Sanchez.

Those who are interested in receiving a free heater can contact the Kerr County VSO as soon as possible to determine their eligibility.  Call 830-792-2203 or email veterans. service@veterans.kerrcountytx.gov.
