Final ELF Fund Applications Being
Taken Monday at Bradford Library
A final sign-up for the Era’s Less Fortunate Fund is scheduled for noon-4 p.m. Monday at the Bradford Area Public Library, 67 W. Washington St.
Two groups of residents are eligible to receive help: Less fortunate senior citizens from age 60 on, and families with children age 15 and under. All applicants must reside in the Bradford Area School District.
Eligibility is based on income guidelines used for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) government program.
Those applying must bring with them identification for every person in the family for whom assistance is sought, including Social Security numbers.
Also required are positive proof of income for everyone living in the home; and proof of all major and monthly expenses, including rent and utilities.
Those unable to provide these documents at the time of application will be required to produce them prior to being considered for any Christmas aid.
Families should be prepared to list toy and clothing request for children, along with pants and shirt sizes for each child.
These applications are confidential. No determination of eligibility is made at the time of application but those qualified are notified by mail.
The ELF has already taken applications from the general public during three days in October, and from the unemployed on Nov. 4. Applicants who had incomplete information during one of those sign-up periods may bring necessary documents at this final sign-up on Monday.
