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.

"Connecticut Community Foundation—which has supported Operation Fuel’s efforts in our 21-town region for several years—has been able to support the organization’s efforts to meet this additional demand through grants totaling more than $35,000 during this period, made possible by generous gifts from donors who have supported the Foundation’s pandemic relief efforts. With inflation in the fuel sector high and cold temperatures setting in, this winter will once again mean increased demand for assistance from Operation Fuel."
