Everyone doesn't have a dream home. More than 1 in 5 people in the D.C. metropolitan area live below the poverty line. Throughout the DMV, there are many families who will need to choose between food and other essentials rather than heat this winter.

On Giving Tuesday, make a donation that helps to "Spread Warmth" to our neighbors in need—give to the Washington Area Fuel Fund (WAFF). Through a charitable partnership with The Salvation Army, WAFF help individuals and families in need pay their energy bills - no matter the fuel source, e.g., natural gas, propane gas, electricity, oil, coal, wood, kerosene, etc.

WAFF supports energy solutions that make life go! Cooking, bathing, heating a home, and washing clothes are all necessities that require fuel. A small donation can help a family propel their lives forward. And 100% of WAFF donations go directly to individuals and families in need. Since 1983, WAFF has distributed nearly $33 million to help more than 300,000 households across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia pay their energy bills during times of hardship—no matter the fuel source, e.g., natural gas, propane gas, electricity, oil, coal, wood, kerosene, etc. To learn more, visit https://www.waffhelp.org.

All donations to the Washington Area Fuel Fund/Salvation Army are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
