Have you heard about the Citgo free heating oil program? People may qualify for some heating oil. It is run by Citgo and Citizens Energy. Of course the oil is not unlimited, but people can qualify for a little help. More information on the program can be found here, as well as phone numbers to call.
http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/fre ... _fuel.html
The phone number is basically (1-877-563-4645). Call and apply.

You sound like you are a perfect candidate to look into a heating oil buying network. They are basically like buying clubs (think Costco or Sams) in which hundreds or thousands of people pool their buying power in order to buy oil and fuel, and many of the companies may be non-profits as well. The total amount of savings can be substantial, and can amount to dozens of dollars per year, or more with the high price of oil. Most clubs charge a minimal fee to join, but even after paying that people save tons of money. Read more on heating oil buying clubs and networks.

We are not sure where that Valley office is. Is it in the northeaster part of the country. If so, then try the Citgo heating oil program. It is called Oil Heat, and can provide free heating oil to the needy and low income to help them make it through the cold winter or difficult period in their lives. The oil is completely free for qualified individuals.

Yes, times are tough right now. Hang in there. Good news is seems like economy is slowly improving, and jobs are being created. Just not fast enough right now. We will provide you a few different links and options that may work for you. First and foremost look into LIHEAP. Another option may be free heating oil offered by Citgo. Number of gallons provided is small, but worth a shot. Here are details on all of the energy and heating bill assistance programs run by companies in Delaware. Get that information. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/del ... _ener.html
Last, be sure to call local non-profits and charities in your area. Most counties in Delaware do have options for the needy. Read more on Delaware assistance programs. Select your county from this page, and call the agencies and phone numbers referenced. May have funds for bills, job counseling, and maybe info on medical care for wife too.

Currently still unemployed. Benefits ran out. Family house hold of 4 (2 adults 2 child) The other adult is collecting unemployment ($485.00 weekly after taxes). We are in need of heating oil at this very given moment. We have 4 inches of oil in our 500 gallon tank. Oil heat home and hot water so we are not turning on the heat so we will have hot water. Electric bill is very slightly behind ...balance due to JCP&L is under $200.00 but the next billing cycle is coming any day now. Rent was last paid Oct 8th in full. We have not paid this month rent (Nov 2011) and currently are short about $200.00 to pay it today. Trying to figure out if we pay the rent or buy oil and food. Please direct me to where I can reach out for assistance. I have NOT yet applied for TANF/FoodStamps. Will be heading there this week. PRAB does NOT have any emergency oil assistance at the moment and I have called Middlesex County INFO line. Was given numbers to call and no luck with them either. Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

We are all lucky winter has been so warm this year, as this has really helped people have their heating oil make it through a longer period of time, and people are paying much less towards their heating bills. However with the economy weak, there is still a struggle out there. There are some ways to get free heating oil and assistance programs in place, namely the Oil Heat program from CITGO. Read more on free heating oil, what states are covered, and who to call to apply.

I’m trying to find someone to help me with some oil for my house. I’ am unemployed and on assistance for welfare. I’ am on the list at my community action agency out of Tacoma, WA. I have been laid off for a year now and I don’t see any work in the near future. I call around to non-profits every week and the response is “ its real slow”. I rent the home I live in with my 8 year old son and my Fiancé. I usually never ask for help because I’m working. I’ am going to college as well at Everest College in Tacoma, WA. I will receive my bachelors degree 2014 Until then I have to stick with construction or anything I can get my hands on. I know there are jobs out there but where are they is the question. I will find one but I just need help keeping the house warm. Please if you can help in any way possible we would really appreciate it.

College is great, so make sure you go to that community college. Working part time at construction is great. Sounds like you have act together and are working hard to improve situation. So to get some advice, or maybe some funds to pay bills in a crisis, use this for Pierce County and Tacoma Washington assistance programs, grants, and general financial aid. A number of organizations and charities may be able to help with college, bills, rent, and the heating oil that you need for this winter. Also look into LIHEAP, which may be your community action agency in Pierce County.

I am in desperation concerning my oil supply. My husband is not working and we cannot keep up with our bills.He applied for disability and we have a doctor's appointment scheduled with them March 16th, but by that time, and I am sure it will be later than that before we get an answer, it will be too late. Worst of all, we will run out of oil probably by tomorrow. I called our oil company ant the minimum delivery is 50 gallons.I scheduled a delivery for tomorrow but I don't know how we are going to pay for it.I need help and do not know where to turn.I have looked all over the internet and have come up with nothing. Even my church didn't have an answer. I guess maybe we are not poor enough. My paycheck just doesn't cover all our bills and I work really hard and more hours than I get paid for.Where can I turn for help?

The weather is warming up, so can you make it through the next few weeks with a little oil. Just use heat sparingly, and bundle up. But there may be other options and programs for you too, and those can be found here at electric bill help. I don't know how you came up with nothing in your search for oil on the internet, as we have tons of programs and solutions listed on our site.

How do I apply for help with find additional and paying for my heating oil in Portland Maine. One of us lost our job last week and I am only working part time. I can’t find where I can fill out an application for help, as we need the oil for next year. We buy now in the spring when it is cheaper. My income is too high for assistance and currently I have seven people living in my smallish home. One is out of work due to a heart attack. Three are on disability. One is a disabled veteran who served his county and who is was laid off and is not yet receiving and government or Maine unemployment benefits. Can you please advise me. Thanks so much.
