From the transcript

We also have calls from our Alaska Native community, you know, and so, and I know Alaska Native community, they have a lot of fundings, you know, more fundings than what we do. So we refer them to other organizations that have similar programs that they might be able to help them. But before we send them out, we call those agencies and say, do you have a program that would help this family that they need electricity or they need gas or they need just one month to get through, you know? So, up to now, we still have— we just helped 2 families last month on their electricity and their gas, but we still looking for funding to help the community.
