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 special shoutout to Michelle Royce Williams from Connecticut Water Company for joining Gannon to highlight our collaborative efforts to help low-income water customers. 💧💚 It was an inspiring week of sharing, learning, and advocating for energy equity nationwide!
#ThrowbackThursday Nearly 50 years ago, Former Governor Ella Grasso, Father Thomas Lynch, and Former State Treasurer Gerald Lamb received the founding check that launched Operation Fuel, a temporary solution for those falling through the cracks of government assistance. We’re thankful for their vision and dedication to supporting low- to moderate-income Connecticut families 💙💚![]()

Because of their efforts, Operation Fuel has grown, transformed, and evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of our community.
