donate to heat bank

Having access to sufficient home heat & electricity is vital for maintaining health and is necessary to prevent homelessness.  

​We appreciate your support! Heat Bank receives hundreds of calls for assistance every year and each one is a unique, heart-breaking situation. Many people struggling with low income are living in homes that are older and are not properly insulated. Higher heating costs stretch budgets that are already pulled too thin.  Our aim is to help households both with emergency heat & hydro and also with longer-term solutions to reduce future crisis. 

Here are ways you can help!
