What Is The Feel The Heat Fund?
A fund used solely for assistance in paying natural gas bills. YCNGA, the United Way of York County (UWYC) and our customers work to provide direct heating assistance to seniors and disabled customers unable to pay seasonal bills.
UWYC is the lead agency for any funds collected through the Feel the Heat Fund. The Authority collects the contributions and periodically turns over 100% of all the funds collected to the UWYC for distribution to qualified customers. The UWYC assumes total control of the funds and makes all funding decisions.
