This great organization helps people stay warm in the long, cold winters by helping them to pay their heating bills. Not only is the service of this organization vital to the continued financial viability of many families, but it is SO easy to donate to them. I used their add-a-buck program, which just lets you check a box on your utility bill to add a dollar. I don't even notice the dollar difference in my heating bill, but I know every buck is important to help people stay warm.
