We know that on a day like this the last thing you want to think about is Home Heating Oil.

You don't have to.

Due to the past generosity of our friends SOAR has enough money in our coffers to handle this years needs. We hope that you will instead donate generously to Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services, our parent charity. Thank you

Dear Friends,
We at SOAR know that the last thing you want to think about on a beautiful warm summer day is heating oil. SO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO!
We are pleased to announce that SOAR has enough money to last us through the coming winter. Your generous support has made this possible. We are grateful for your generosity to our cause of helping people weather heating emergencies. We hope that instead of giving to SOAR, you will generously donate to our parent charity Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services.

Thank you Hannah Kane, Beth Casavant and Matthew Beaton for your great work for SOAR.
