You can fill out the application online for Head Start. Meals on Wheels is part of our community services. For our community services, we offer energy assistance that is 100% fully federally funded by the federal government. We currently know that there’s money out there, but we don’t have a contract, so we are not accepting energy applications currently, but check our website and keep looking at it. This month, the focus is on Opportunities for Williamson and Burnet Counties, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families through vital community services.Courtesy: Opportunities for Williamson and Burnet Counties We will let you know. Head Start is 80% fully federally funded, so we have to come up with the other 20%. Meals on Wheels is 60% fully federally funded, so we can always use donations.
