Caring & Sharing: the gift of comfort at home

Ecolibrium3/Facebook

[This episode of Caring & Sharing originally aired on December 10, 2018, and was re-aired on December 28, 2018.] 

"Giving Comfort at Home" is the name of a specific program offered by Ecolibrium3: it's designed to help elderly, disabled and/or veteran home owners who may not be able to make needed energy-saving improvements.

But with the non-profit's focus on housing, eliminating energy poverty (when folks have to decide whether to "heat or eat" and can't keep adequately warm at an affordable cost) or community, "giving comfort at home" might not be a bad slogan for the organization as a whole.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
