New Jersey Natural Gas will hold a series of Energy Assistance workshops for Monmouth County residents facing financial hardships.

“Whether a family or an individual is on a limited income or faced with unanticipated financial hardship, there are energy assistance and home energy-improvement programs available,” said Deidre DeGisi, Corporate Communications spokeswoman, in a written statement.

Managing energy bills, preparing for the winter season, energy improvement programs, determining which program best fits a household’s needs, and energy assistance programs will be covered in the informational sessions.

Attendees should bring along an ID, with home address, deeds or lease agreements, and a most recent natural gas and/or electric bill.
