With temperatures continuing to
drop.
People are urged that it
can be dangerous to be outside.
And while many can go inside to
get warm, many can't.
Cold temperatures can
be really scary for people,
especially in more rural areas.
A lot of people rely on oil to
heat their homes and are
running out.
"I got my heater going now."
It wasn't that way
a few days ago when Madeline was
running out of fuel for her
heater.
"What are we going to do
next."
They had already
used the fuel they could afford.
But they can't go without heat
at home in weather like this.
"It was 45 degrees here in
the house. My husband
he's got Alzheimers."
Her husband has
Diabetes too.
So they turned to
a last resort.
"They brought 100 gallons."
How long will that last?
"I hope it lasts a month."
For the Salvation Army
this time of year, things get
busy.
Cheese, crackers, cereal.
It's not just food
they have.
Snowshoes, warm, long
jackets for men and women.
Since november 1st, they've given
out 160 coats
to adults, and 230 to children.
They only have 50 left during a
tough time for a lot of people.
The choices are do you eat
or are you warm?
