Contribute to Add-a-Dollar Program
By adding a donation to your Yankee Gas bill, you can help Connecticut residents who are struggling to keep warm this winter.
Chances are, they're a lot like you, but they're experiencing a temporary crisis which has left them without enough money to heat their homes. Most don't qualify for other assistance programs.
When you add a donation to your Yankee Gas bill, we'll match it with a 50 cent contribution through a special community contribution fund (up to the first $100,000 in customer contributions). Monthly Contributions of more than $10 must be made by separate check, payable to Operation Fuel. We'll forward all contributions directly to Operation Fuel, which distributes warmth throughout Connecticut via a statewide network of fuel banks.
Please consider participating in the pledge program, "Add-a-Dollar," and make this winter a warmer one for someone in need.
To participate, complete the Add-a-Dollar Sign-up Form (7KB) and fax or mail it to us. Or you may call us at 1-866-855-8686. We'll automatically add the selected dollar amount to your Yankee Gas month as an Operation Fuel contribution. (You can ignore the charge and/or have it removed from your bill whenever you choose.)
Every dollar you contribute is tax-deductible.
