The bad economy and the sweltering heat are making it even more difficult for a local non-profit group to help those in need. The Executive Director of Mobile Community Action, an agency that helps low-income families with things like their utility bills says twice as many people are asking for help as compared to a year ago, "our phone time response is a very sensitive issue now because the increase in request for assistance," said Executive Director, Jimmy Knight. Knight says they're doing the best they can and he asks people to be patient. M.C.A. is in need of volunteers, if you would like to help call 251-457-5700.
