Heat the Town

We have saved lives by providing safe, warm homes during the unpredictable Texas Winter season.

This service was started in 1991 with volunteers from the North Texas Chapter of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America. Each year we attract over 200 volunteers from NTACCA and other affiliated community partners to help provide free heating repairs/ replacements for eligible low- income homeowners in Dallas and Fort Worth.
