"A lot of our at-risk families and elderly veterans are having to choose between gas and groceries or paying the water bill or the rent or electricity, and those are not choices they should be making," Smith told Fox News Digital. "That's something where we can step in and alleviate some of that financial burden while we find longer-term solutions."
