Operation Fuel is a private, nonprofit statewide program that has provided emergency energy assistance throughout Connecticut for the past 35 years to lower-income working families, the elderly and disabled individuals who are in financial crisis and not eligible for energy assistance from government-funded programs. It works in partnership with businesses, communities, government and individuals to ensure that Connecticut households have access year-round to critically needed energy assistance.
