When the weather outside is frightful, the weather inside can be delightful.. thanks to a Thomasville organization.

Starting Monday, 12.21 The Southwest Georgia Community Action Council will start accepting calls from folks who need help covering heating costs.

After residents call to have their names added to the list, a representative from the office will set up an interview to begin the application process.

Officials say the program is open to everyone who may need assistance. Every year the program helps about one thousand Thomasville families.
