🚨 OPERATION: COMFORT RECIPIENT ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨
The wait is over, and our hearts are incredibly full. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that this year’s "Operation: Comfort" recipient is Corporal Tony Simon Jr., U.S. Marine Corps!
Tony bought his first home in 2024, only to have it hit by the Portage tornado weeks later. Then, his furnace gave out during the winter of 2025. Through it all, Tony has quietly gotten by with temporary heaters without ever complaining, always remaining the reliable friend who opens his door to others in need. Now, it’s our turn to show up for him and give back to a hardworking veteran who has given so much to the people around him!
🤝 A Massive Shout-Out to Excel Propane Company !
An initiative like this takes a village, and we are beyond grateful to announce that Excel Propane has stepped up in a huge way to partner with us this year!
Tony’s home is currently set up for old fuel oil. Excel Propane is generously donating their time, equipment, and expertise to help us completely switch his home over to clean, efficient propane—ensuring this entire system upgrade is 100% free for him.
