What We Do?
An important part of our philosophy is to be “First In”. When a need is identified, we verify quickly and respond rapidly.
In addition to fuel requirements, we are fully capable of providing emergency firewood. For those experiencing a hydro disconnect we refer them to either government agencies or private organizations who specialize in this area. They are able to respond to this need in a timely fashion.
Our front line volunteers are well trained and very experienced. Our application and assessment process is thorough and completed with the client's needs in mind.
We provide propane, oil, and wood pellets, in addition to our firewood service. We are fortunate to have very cooperative and supportive suppliers in Haliburton County. Their input and timely response is important to the work that we do. We understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality to all those who access our services.
