What churches and charities help with paying utility and heating bills? How much free money will they give me, where do I apply, and do I need to worship there?

My gas has been cut off since June and I still have $405 owed to ONG. It is about to get cold and I am afraid I am not going to get this paid before the weather turns cold. I have paid them through the summer but the amount I owe keeps changing. I was told previously the deposit can be paid out but today I was told it had to be paid first. I have called churches, organizations, only to be told over and over there are no funds. Please forward any info you have that would help me pay this amount to ONG.
Thank you

I had back surgery and was on disability for 3 months. No charities have any money to help but my electric was shut off today because they want $983 to keep it on. I don't have anywhere left to turn. I am more than willing to pay the money back if someone can help me. I am scared. If my apartments find out I will be homeless too. I work so hard and my life has been reduced to begging.

We are a low-income family looking for help to save our home. We did not get our taxes back do to some issues but hopefully able to fix them soon. We have received a text from landlord saying he wants to take us to court for nonpayment of rent and utilities. We are about 900 behind in rent and need to pay. Please help us. Our landlord is in Newburgh NY 12550. You are our last change of hope. We have tried local churches and no call backs and we tried a man from a local non-profit who sent my landlord 300 which did not save us. Please I am at this point begging for help. I Have 3 kids and do not want to be on the streets. Please mail me back asap.

My lights were disconnected as of yesterday. This is the first time that this ever happened to me. I have a 4 year old daughter in my home and I am desperate. I have tried reaching out to local churches, Social Services and their available programs and also the light bill place itself. I do not know what else to do, please help!! I am staying with someone else for the time being but it is overcrowded and uncomfortable here. Also, I live in apartment complex and they will not let the lights stay off but for so long before terminating my lease meaning my daughter and I will be out on the streets. Furthermore, I just found out Monday that I am pregnant :(

We not only have a main church program but also some regional ones, such as in Chicago. Maybe those can help you get what you need around money, food, clothing, etc.
