As the cold months approach, many of us are fortunate to enjoy the warmth of a well-heated home. However, for some of our neighbors, staying warm during winter can be a real challenge. Rising energy costs and unexpected financial difficulties can leave families struggling to pay their heating bills. That’s where the power of community comes in. By offering the gift of heat through HeatShare, you can help ensure that no one is left in the cold this winter.

HeatShare, a vital assistance program run by The Salvation Army, is dedicated to helping families and individuals who face emergencies related to their heating needs. Since its founding, HeatShare has offered a lifeline to those who might otherwise be without heat during the harsh winter months.

Why Your Support Matters

For many, the decision between paying for heat or other basic necessities like food and medicine is a heartbreaking reality. HeatShare bridges that gap by offering assistance to those in need, such as seniors living on fixed incomes, individuals facing unemployment, and families dealing with unexpected medical expenses.

By donating to HeatShare, you are not only helping to keep someone warm, but you are also giving them peace of mind. Every contribution, no matter the size, can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Whether it’s paying a portion of their heating bill or providing emergency funds to repair a broken furnace, your support provides real, tangible relief.
