Burning Calories for Fuel

The nonprofit organization, Operation Fuel, recently held its first Burn Calories for Fuel 5K Run at the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield. Operation Fuel held the event to raise awareness of the home energy affordability crisis that affects one out of every five Connecticut households. Operation Fuel provides emergency energy assistance throughout Connecticut to low-income working families, the elderly, and disabled individuals who are in financial crisis and not eligible for, or have exhausted, government benefits.
