Info

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.
