Many families live one unforeseen event away from crisis. Medical challenges, job loss, or a need to support other family members can lead to tough choices like deciding between paying for rent, food, utility bills, or medical expenses. When households face such a crisis, many turn to the Fuel Fund of Maryland. The Fuel Fund helps with past due bills when families are in crisis, provides energy conservation education through a program called Watt Watchers, and advocates for solutions that make energy more affordable.
