Amarah was a dedicated student, determined to succeed in her spring term. However, life had a different plan for her. A month before the end of the semester, her primary source of income as a delivery driver came to a screeching halt. Her faithful car had finally given up on her. Amarah’s earnings vanished overnight, leaving her with a stack of unpaid bills.

With the commitment to see Amarah through her difficulties, Oregon Energy Fund offered a helping hand. We provided financial assistance to keep her power on during this trying period. The relief Amarah felt was immeasurable and allowed her to focus on her studies without constant worry.

The story of Amarah is a testament to Oregon Energy Fund’s mission to serve not only families but also students, recognizing that education is a powerful tool to overcome adversity. By assisting students like Amarah, we ensure that the flame of ambition continues to burn even in the darkest of times.

Oregon Energy Fund is an organization that holds a crucial place in the hearts and lives of Oregonians. For over three decades, we have been dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals and families throughout the state. We understand the significance of energy security and the impact it has on every aspect of people’s lives. From keeping a home warm during the coldest winter night to ensuring that the lights stay on during challenging
times, our mission is to provide assistance that goes beyond temporary relief.

We believe in tackling the root causes of energy insecurity, aiming for long-term stability and resilience for Oregonians. That stability is threatened when basic home maintenance and repairs are unaffordable for families. This is why Oregon Energy Fund has expanded our programming through corporate partnerships to include projects that offer no-cost repairs for heating and cooling equipment, insulation, and other costly appliances that keep people safe and energy bills manageable. These partnerships allow us to keep donor contributions focused on energy assistance, while also allowing us to extend even greater support to clients in need.

As an organization deeply rooted in the community, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of our efforts. We have seen families lifted out of crisis, children given opportunities to thrive, and communities strengthened. Oregon Energy Fund is more than just an organization. For many, we are all that stands between them and the cold. In a world with so many barriers to building a bright and secure future, we are here to ensure that energy costs aren’t one of them. As the country’s only statewide energy assistance program, we take this responsibility seriously, but we can’t do it alone.

Your support enables us to continue creating a future where every Oregonian has the energy security they deserve. This will ensure that families never have to face the heart-wrenching choice between electricity and food due to an unexpected crisis. I continue to draw inspiration from the incredible support of our community, knowing that together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Oregonians.
