Propane Assistance Ministry

S.A.F.E. offers a Propane Assistance Ministry for members and our community; we raise money to help assist our members and non members of our community.

This ministry helps to cover the cost of propane for members and our community that need help. S.A.F.E.’s Propane Assistance Ministry provides individuals and families the ability to purchase propane for personal use, such as heating, and cooking. This ministry is available year round as funds are available and allow.

Propane assistance availability depends on funds available from month to month through S.A.F.E. Housing Inc. Members and the community may apply when the application process is open. Propane assistance will be approved on the basis of need, not on a first come first served basis, and not everyone who applies will receive assistance depending on available funds, Military Members that apply receive priority, members that apply receive second priority, non members of our community will then be considered.

Anyone who applies for Propane Assistance will be required to submit proof they need the assistance, they will also be required to do an interview and analysis to determine financial need and documented proof may also be required before receiving Propane Assistance.

S.A.F.E. will issue gift cards to those that receive propane assistance either by mail or by e-mail. Upon using the gift card the approved person will be required to submit original receipts to S.A.F.E. as proof they used it for that purpose. Failure to submit the receipts as proof will result in that person being permanently banned from S.A.F.E. and any membership.

Gift card amounts will depend on available funds, and the need of each individual or family, S.A.F.E. will determine the amount on an individual basis.

Non Members of our Community may apply for Propane Assistance one time anytime the Propane Assistance Application is open; however they may ONLY receive actual assistance once (1 time) a year.

Members of S.A.F.E may apply for Propane Assistance one time anytime the Propane Assistance Application is open; members may receive actual assistance up to three (3) times a year.
