Human Services

Human Services Support work to promote and assist individuals and families who have insufficient income and/or assets to meet their essential needs. 

It is best to make an appointment to ensure enough time is set aside for your needs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Are you finding it hard to pay your home heating bills? The Rotary Club Fuel Fund may be able to help. Started in 2016, the Fuel Fund has helped many residents and families in Plymouth cover their fuel bills when other assistance is exhausted. The Fund can pay for oil, gas, and electric heat, as well as alternative fuels such as wood, coal and bio-fuels. The Rotary Club of Terryville is urging residents that may need fuel assistance to reach out to the Human Services Department at 860-585-4028, Monday through Thursday 8:00am - 5:00pm. At this time, walk-ins are discouraged, so please call to make an appointment. Residents are verified through the Human Services Department. Human Services coordinates the fuel purchase and the Fuel Fund pays the invoice. The account name is redacted on the invoice, making the process easy, anonymous, and fast. Donations to the Fuel Fund can be made year-round. Donations can be mailed to: Rotary Club of Terryville Fuel Fund, P.O. Box 422, Terryville, CT 06786.

Residents experiencing hardship because of temporary unemployment or illness are encouraged to seek assistance.
