Hard times can happen to anyone.
Sometimes, all it takes is a sudden job loss or medical emergency to tip the balance. Many families choose between food and other essentials rather than heating their homes in winter. WAFF is here to help people in financial need to pay their fuel bills.
Every winter people in our community face the difficult question of whether to give up heat in their homes to deal with temporary financial crises brought on by an illness, accident or job loss. Since 1983, WAFF has distributed nearly $34 million to help more than 320,000 local homes keep their heat on while they get back on their feet.
As temperatures drop, every dollar counts. Give today to help keep the heat on in DMV-area homes. 100% of your donation goes directly to support WAFF’s programs.
