The Fuel Fund of  Maryland - Share the Warmth with Those in Need

Last year, nearly 10,000 Maryland children received help from those who generously donated to the Fuel Fund of Maryland. For nearly 25 years, the Fuel Fund has helped families stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and have lights year ‘round.

Poverty and the increasing cost of food, energy and other essentials can even force some limited-income households into choosing between putting food on the table or paying their heating bill. The Fuel Fund, an independent 501-c3 non-profit organization, provides energy assistance to help pay heating and utility bills for thousands of your neighbors in need. In 2007 alone, 1,000 more families and seniors received assistance from the Fuel Fund than during the previous year.

How Can You Help?
This year, with higher energy costs, even more of our fellow Marylanders are likely to need our help. Please consider helping families who can’t afford to heat their homes this winter by giving generously to the Fuel Fund of Maryland. As a corporate sponsor, BGE covers the cost of the envelope campaign (recently included in BGE bills) and a number of advertising initiatives, so your contributions go directly to those who need assistance.

With the  Penny Round-Up program, you can round up your monthly BGE payment to the nearest dollar and send those extra pennies directly to the Fuel Fund of Maryland.  Click here to sign up.
