Klarides-Ditria: Operation Fuel funds several assistance programs
Operation Fuel is the country’s oldest fuel fund, and is focused on providing year-round emergency energy assistance to every city and town in Connecticut.
They are the primary source of energy and utilities assistance for low- to moderate-income households who are struggling financially and have exhausted other options.
Operation Fuel fills the gap for our state’s most vulnerable residents – children, senior citizens, working families, and people with chronic medical conditions.
Operation Fuel offers programs for individuals and families, including:
Direct bill payments up to $700 for all energy sources: electric, gas utilities, deliverable fuels, oil, propane, kerosene, pellets and wood;
Direct bill payments of $250 for water utility in Aquarion and CT Water, up to $500 in MDC territories; and
Grants for repair/replacement up to $5,000 for energy efficient furnace, boiler, and water heaters.
For the past 43 years, Operation Fuel has provided $2.48 million in emergency energy assistance to more than 5,464 Connecticut households, serving 18,725 children, adults and families!
If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please don’t wait. Go to the Operation Fuel website to apply for winter aid, or for more information on these important programs.
