As temperatures drop, Cornerstone Bank wants to help make sure residents have the tools they need to get through the coldest months. Cornerstone is donating $25,000 toward the Worcester Community Action Council’s Emergency Fuel Fund.
“We know the high price of fuel is making it difficult for families to stay warm as winter sets in,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “That’s why we appreciate the Worcester Community Action Council’s work to make sure our neighbors are taken care of.”
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.
“As a community bank, we are committed to supporting causes that improve the quality of life for those around us,” said Tallman. “We hope this donation helps offer some relief to residents facing challenges trying to safely get through the winter.”
