express my sincere gratitude to you and the Operation Fuel
organization for the assistance you have afforded me in meeting
energy costs. This help has made it possible to me not to choose
between food, medical prescriptions, or other essential
necessities in order to maintain a reasonable and meaningful
lifestyle. If Operation Fuel funds were not available, a lot of
senior citizens would be in dire circumstances. I, for one, want
to send my heartfelt thanks to you and hope you will continue to
operate this much-needed service to the community.”
“Too often persons and organizations like Operation Fuel are not
acknowledged for the great work they do to help persons in need
so I hope this communication assists in correcting this
oversight. Let me say once more with gusto, I wholeheartedly
thank you for your very much needed assistance.” -Client

Fuel Releases "Home Energy Affordability Gap: Connecticut
(2006)" Report
For almost 30 years, Operation Fuel has helped people
struggling to help themselves.
Operation Fuel is a private, not-for-profit (501)(c)(3)
organization that provides emergency energy assistance to state
residents who do not qualify for government assistance. Most of
our
clients are not poor enough to receive government aid but,
because of a crisis in their lives, cannot make ends meet and
are forced to make impossible choices. Trying to survive a
Connecticut winter with no heat should not be one of their
choices.
Operation Fuel uses a network of over 60 community
organizations which provide grants to pay the utility bills of
households in need. They are town social service agencies,
community action agencies, non-profit organizations such as the
Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association and religious
organizations. These agencies voluntarily administer this energy
assistance program.
For information on applying for assistance please call 211 or
the
fuel
bank in your town. |
