ADD-A-DOLLAR: Easiest Way to Give

One of the easiest ways to support families struggling with energy costs is through Operation Fuel’s Add-a-Dollar program, where we partner with utility providers so customers can conveniently add a one-time or monthly donation to their utility bill, and the providers send your donation to us so we can use it to help families. 100% of the money collected for the Add-a-Dollar program goes directly to providing energy assistance for Connecticut households.
