Operation Fuel provides emergency energy assistance to elderly,
disabled and low-income working poor families who are facing
financial crisis and are not eligible for government benefits.
These people have no other resources except Operation Fuel to
keep their homes war, and avoid welfare, bankruptcy and
homelessness. Last year, 83% of each dollar spent at Operation
Fuel went to our emergency energy assistance program. We are
able to keep our overhead so low because of our voluntary fuel
bank network. All of our fuel banks administer this energy
assistance program on a voluntary basis. These fuel banks
provide an important link because they are in direct contact
with people in crisis. Fuel bank directors stay in constant
communication with the Operation Fuel office and relay to us the
needs of the clients.
