I had a quarter inch on the stick and eleven days until my check. I called at four in the afternoon and the truck came the next morning.

The people behind the deliveries.
These are neighbors who agreed to let us print what happened, on the condition we use first names only. A few are households we helped. One is a monthly donor who was helped first. One takes the intake calls.
Received help
We were not out yet. That is what made it hard to ask. They told us we did not have to wait until we were out.

It was not even the fuel. The furnace quit and the service call was two hundred dollars I did not have four days before Christmas.

Pellets went up forty percent that fall. I am on a fixed income. The math simply stopped working.

They filled my tank in 2014. I have given twenty-five dollars a month ever since, and I will keep doing it.

I make about six phone calls a week. That is the entire job, and it is enough to keep a house warm.

Names and towns are printed with permission. Where a household asked us not to publish anything at all, we have not, which is why this page is shorter than the number of people we have helped.
Every one of these began with a phone call.
If any of it sounded like your winter, the number is on the contact page and somebody will pick up. If it sounded like a winter you would like to prevent for somebody else, the other button is just as useful.
