Helping Families In Crisis

Since 1985, Operation Warm Heart has provided nearly $3.6 million to 14,800 limited-income families in crisis to help pay their electric bills. These recipients can barely make ends meet, but don’t qualify for other government programs that could help them pay their winter bills.

Warm words from those helped by Operation Warm Heart


“This year we received assistance in paying for our electric services this winter. It was a great help and relief of the stress that comes with the inability to make a payment. Thank you ever so much and God bless you all.”

“I have had the bad fortune of the economy turning south of me. I’ve always been very proud of what I’ve been able to do in my life, but for the past couple of years I have been forced to ask for help. My sincerest thanks for helping me and my wife.”

“My family and I would like to thank you for the help that was provided with the electric bill. It was a blessing for us to be able to participate in this program. Once again, Thank you!”
