NEW Faith Winter Fuel Fund
2008 marks the third year that Loudoun Cares, National Electronics Warranty Inc. (NEW), the Loudoun County Department of Family Services and generous partners from the local faith community have
joined forces and resources to keep area residents warm during winter.
This
year, as in years past, NEW, helped launch the effort with a generous $7,500 donation to Loudoun Cares and a challenge
to the interfaith community and other compassionate donors to match it. Our goal is to more than match the NEW contribution
and raise $20,000 this year. Every penny of the funds raised goes to help low-income families pay
utility costs. This creative partnership is rounded out by the Loudoun County Department of Family Services which has well-trained
staff who take applications and carefully determine the eligibility of families seeking assistance.
Last
year the Department of Family Services used these funds to prevent cutoffs or facilitate reconnections for 185 area residents
living in 51 households. This amounts to an average payment of $274.00 per family.
This year our generous Interfaith partners include:
All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center (ADAMS Center)
Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation
Christ the Redeemer Roman Catholic Church
Congregation Sha’are Shalom
Crossroads United Methodist Church
Goose Creek Friends Meeting
Guru Angad Institute of Sikh Studies
Potomac Falls Church
Saint Francis de Sales
Saint Gabriel’s Episcopal Church
Saint James Episcopal Church
Saint Peter's Episcopal Church
Unity of Loudoun County

to Contribute
In order to reach
our goal and serve more families, members of the partnership are reaching out to other businesses, faith-based entities
and individuals.

"Ours is the wealthiest county of its size in the
country. We can and should do more
for those who are down on their luck and cannot do for themselves. I have faith that other businesses and religious
institutions will step up to help with this."
