This is the best run energy assistance program anywhere. The staff is outstanding! I not only add a dollar every month to my Eversource bill, but I also make donations above and beyond. There is no other local nonprofit that I have more confidence in than OpFuel.

A doctor that was interviewed for the recent Emerging Public Health Needs for Climate Smart Technology report said, "It’s really hard to live with any really major chronic condition without electricity these days... For some people, it may be the one particular thing, not being able to charge your wheelchair, or your CPAP machine so your oxygen drops while you’re sleeping and that can cause problems, or you get dehydrated because of heat. But more likely, it’s all these other things." ![]()

Access to electricity isn’t optional—it’s essential, especially for those managing chronic health conditions. A single power outage can disrupt critical devices like oxygen machines or CPAPs, putting lives at risk. This is why we’re dedicated to supporting Connecticut residents in maintaining access to safe, reliable energy when they need it most. Donate to Operation Fuel on Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, to make sure your neighbors in need can keep the power on! 💙💚
Just 18 days left until GivingTuesday! 📅 Every little bit counts, and a small donation can have a big impact for Connecticut families in need. ![]()
