I called to check on this and they have cancelled it for today and rescheduled for Tuesday morning at 9:30.
Don’t it seem a little odd to anyone that they are offering heaters Friday during the time of the snow storm,when the official say to stay off the road, the middle of February. Why not at the beginning of the winter season. Yes it is nice of them to do, but maybe they need to rethink the time. Maybe that just a way to make sure that they do not have to give out very many.
It’s always bothered me that the most expensive and most dangerous form of heating is offered to the elderly and the poor. Doesn’t make sense.

this is very nice!
This is a very nice thing to do for the needy, and I also hope that we don’t lose power; because if we do the electric heaters nor central heat will do no good for anybody…
Let’s hope the electricity stays on….heaters great idea for the needy…
