Temperatures are dropping and Cornerstone Bank wants to help make sure residents have the warmth they need to get through the coldest months. Just like last year, Cornerstone is donating $25,000 to the Worcester Community Action Council’s Emergency Fuel Fund. The Bank contributed $50,000 in both 2022 and 2023.
“Each year, we see how rising fuel costs place real strain on families,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “WCAC continues to be a lifeline for residents who might otherwise have to choose between staying warm or meeting other essential needs. We are grateful to be able to support their efforts again this year.”
The Emergency Fuel Fund helps homeowners and renters pay home heating bills and past due balances on utility bills incurred from November through April of each year. Income-eligible residents can apply for aid through the agency’s federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
“Our mission as a community bank is to support the well-being of the people who live and work here,” Tallman added. “We hope this contribution helps ease the burden for households facing a difficult winter.”
