During the prior heating season, in partnership with the Massachusetts Association for Community Action and the fuel assistance programs through the state, we were able to help more than 3,000 additional households due to the generosity of our donors.  Thanks to all the corporate and individual donors who helped ensure that no one should be left out in the cold!

Donors' Corner


Here are just a few examples of the kind and generous individuals and organizations who have helped keep families warm this past heating season:

-- Massachusetts Lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows donated to the Oil Heat Fund this year as part of the Order's charitable mission. 

-- The George W. Peabody Chapter of the National Honor Society at Danvers High School, which donated the proceeds from its annual Daredevil Dive into the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  More than 60 students and faculty from Danvers High participated in this year's Daredevil Dive at Crane's Beach!

-- The employees at the Boston Housing Authority, who generously donate to charitable organizations each month throughout the year.

-- The Cares4Community team at Constant Contact in Waltham.

-- The Phillips Academy community in Andover, which donated half of its holiday liturgical offering to support heating oil deliveries and the other half to help a local pantry and food assistance agency. 

-- The Site Giving Program at Extech Instruments Corporation in Waltham.

We are grateful to these and all of our thoughtful and generous donors throughout the year.
