In the Heating Season of 2020-21, St. Rose of Lima launched the Food, Fuel and Fiber Fund to provide Heating Fuel and other necessities to residents of Livermore and Livermore Falls. The fund takes the torch from the recently closed "Good Neighbor Fuel Fund," a former ministry of the Tri-Town Ministerial Association. The GNFF provided fuel assistance for years to residents of Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls.
Residents of Jay are able to apply to the Farmington area ECU HEAT program, which is not able to serve residents of Livermore and Livermore Falls since they are not in Franklin County. Parish Social Ministry's new Fuel, Food, and Fiber fund seeks to fill the void left by the GNFF by focusing specifically on these two communities.
We are accepting both donations and applications for the Fuel Fund, which also supplies other necessities such as food and clothing if needed. The Fund specifically provides 50 gallons of fuel for a $50 contribution. The Fund will be administered on a first come, first serve basis until funds are exhausted.
The Fund has been made possible through the generous support of the Maine Community Foundation, United Way of the Tri Valley Area, and other private donors. To make a contribution, please click here to access our online giving page.
To apply for heating assistance through the Fund, please call Stephanie Crowe at 897-2173 ext. 1203 or email at stephanie.crowe@portlanddiocese.org.
