Welcome to the Heating Energy Assistance Team (H.E.A.T.), Inc. We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been assisting Georgians with their home energy needs since 1983. Our mission is to prevent human suffering by providing energy assistance for Georgians in need.

This spring a surprising number of Georgians are facing a crisis. Because of situations beyond their control such as loss of work or illness, they've found themselves in their own personal energy crisis - unable to pay their bills from months before. Without your help, they simply can't catch up. Please help your neighbor by making a donation to H.E.A.T. today. To contribute, visit our Donate Now page.
H.E.A.T. funds are distributed by the Georgia Department of Human Resources through local community action agencies. Families who meet the eligibility criteria may apply for assistance at the agency that serves their county. Call your local community action agency to find out where to go to place an application and what documentation you would need to bring.
During 2007, H.E.A.T. disbursed $705,000 to nearly 3,000 households. The families who were assisted included the elderly, the disabled and families with children. Thank you private citizens and corporate and government partners for making that possible!
We welcome our newest supporters - Atmos Energy and the cities of Eatonton, Elberton and Union Point. They join other corporate and government supporters in helping Georgians meet their energy needs through H.E.A.T. more>>
