“How to Fix Your Home and Save on Energy Bills”
Sustainable Flatbush is hosting an event and workshop to present information on the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).

Although the Weatherization Assistance Program has existed for over 30 years, it is not well-known or understood. The purpose of this event is to connect Flatbush residents with the program’s benefits. Tuesday, March 8. 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Free. 203 East 37th Street, Mt. Zion Church of God.
