Helping Address the Needs of Dudley's Seniors
Heating assistance for senior citizens in Dudley, MA
Now in our 14th year of serving others!
HANDS was established in the fall of 2008 to help
senior citizens of Dudley, age 60 and older, who find themselves unable to pay for the exorbitant cost of heating and electricity without sacrificing the purchase
of food and/or medications. Over 95% of donated
funds goes directly to assisting those in need. To
receive assistance from HANDS an individual must be
a resident of Dudley, 60 years of age or older, with a limited annual income. A completed application must
be submitted to the Board of HANDS to determine eligibility. Once eligibility is determined, a check is sent directly to the heating or electric company supplying the service for that individual. Applications can be accessed through this website (see APPLICATIONS page) and at various locations within the town of Dudley.
To date, HANDS has granted 175 awards totaling $84,355. HANDS' success is determined by the amount of donations received. We are grateful to every person, group, school, church and business which supports us in this endeavor and we thank you for participating in our success!
