Community & Social Service Agencies

When you give to Oregon HEAT, your donation is carefully distributed through our agency network to help families stay warm and safe in their own home. Before those funds are used, these community and social service agencies help us determine if those seeking assistance qualify for help. Because this process is so efficient, 90 cents of every dollar that is donated is used to keep others warm.

Are you looking for help to pay your utility bill or stay warm? Click here and we will help you find a community or social service agency in your area that can help determine if you qualify for assistance.
