HeatShare

HeatShare is a program sponsored by Duke Energy in Ohio designed to assist those in need with heating bills during the winter season.

How to Apply for Assistance

HeatShare is administered by the Salvation Army. Eligibility is based upon need and does not necessarily follow government assistance guidelines. An individual must be subject to disconnection of service in order to qualify. Eligible customers may apply for a one-time annual assistance beginning mid-January through May or until funds are depleted. For additional information or to apply for assistance, contact the Salvation Army at 513-721-0795 after the program begins in mid-January.

How to Make a Donation

If you would like to share the warmth with those less fortunate in your community, contributions can be made in two ways:

  • You may add a donation to your monthly Duke Energy bill. (Most monthly bills have a special notation in the upper right-hand corner to mark your HeatShare donation.)

  1. Write in the dollar amount you would like to give (in even dollar amounts).
  2. Add the amount to your bill payment.
    • You also may mail donations by check or money order only. Checks should be made payable to The Salvation Army-HeatShare program.

    Please mail donations to:

    Duke Energy HeatShare Program
    139 E. 4th Street
    Cincinnati, Ohio 45202

    e-Bill Customer Donations

    Our e-bill customers easily can make donations by first e-mailing us the dollar amounts they would like allocated to HeatShare. (Please be sure to change the total e-Bill payment amount to include the donation to HeatShare.)

    Additional Information

    All donations are tax deductible and are forwarded to the Salvation Army for distribution to those in need.
