The town currently has funds to purchase 100 gallons of fuel. Last year, 10 families were served, Kettell said. The goal is to have $5,000 in that fund this year, she said.
Donations may be made to First Congregational Church with a note for fuel assistance. Mail to the church, 773 Royalsborough Road, Durham 04222.
