O&R’s NEIGHBOR FUND OFFERS EMERGENCY ENERGY BILL HELP

PEARL RIVER, NY Dec. 6, 2019 --- Now open for the winter heating season, O&R’s The Neighbor Fund provides critical home-heating assistance for those O&R customers who find themselves unable to pay their home-heating fuel bills because of emergency financial conditions.

The Neighbor Fund provides a one-time grant for electric customers of $250 and for heating fuel customers of $250. Grants from The Neighbor Fund are awarded to pay for home energy costs no matter what type of fuel is used: electricity, oil, natural gas, propane, wood or coal. The grant money does not have to be repaid, and there are no age limits or income guidelines to be met.

To qualify for The Neighbor Fund grant, individuals must have an account with O&R, and must already have exhausted all governmental resources available for financial assistance. They must also provide supporting documentation of emergency/crisis circumstances (medical bills, unemployment notification, etc.)

The Salvation Army administers The Neighbor Fund program, evaluates The Neighbor Fund applications and makes the grants.

If you need The Neighbor Fund’s assistance, please contact The Salvation Army offices in Spring Valley (845-352-9577), Middletown (845-343-0821) or Port Jervis (845-856-3214). ... See MoreSee Less

Snow Band Enhancing... The long awaited area of moderate to heavy snow has taken shape over the area. We'll likely have a good amount of snow to fall through the afternoon hours, some of which may reach 1" per hour at times. Snow coverage & intensity should gradually lessen this evening (even this afternoon in NE Orange Co)...but it will take until after Midnight for snow to complete taper off. By the time snow ends, today/tonight's snow should reach 4 - 8". Overall, the highest amounts will likely be found south of Route 6, where totals may locally exceed 8". Two other things to be aware of are that falling temps tonight will lead to a refreeze. Additionally, winds can get gusty, and there is the potential for a few pockets of blowing & drifting.
