Our mandate is to provide warmth to families who are unable to provide for themselves. We work with the fuel companies and arrange for fuel deliveries, even in situations where the client’s account may be in arrears.

We also work with Hydro One and we offer a wood delivery service for those that heat with wood.
Funds are never given directly to the client.
