Oregon HEAT

This month the Dragontree donated to the Oregon HEATs Annual Dinner and Benefit Auction.  Oregon HEAT develops and coordinates resources to help low-income Oregonians meet their energy needs and achieve energy self-reliance through energy education and advocacy. Oregon HEAT is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1989 to help low-income Oregonians and hard-working families keep those vital utilities on during unforeseen emergency situations. They work with over 30 local social service and community organizations that help determine if a family is eligible for assistance. Over 435,000 families throughout Oregon are struggling to meet their basic needs. In 2013 Oregon HEAT was able to ensure that 15,000 people did not have to choose between paying their utilities and providing food for their families. 90 cents of every dollar go directly to help qualifying households in our community pay their heat and electric bills
