Add-A-Dollar to Support Families this Heating Season

The Add-A-Dollar program is a simple, direct way to help families in need of support in our community. Donations made to the program provide assistance with heating costs.

Customers who are able to help can add a donation to their monthly utility bill. No administrative costs are charged, so every dollar donated goes to help needy households.

Last year, 500 customers donated more than $27,000 to help local families. 

"This program is an excellent resource for our friends and neighbors in the community that may be struggling," says Mike Litterer, CFU Director of Customer Service and Business Development.

"Our Customer Service team is able to point to this service as a way to help someone through a financial hardship and it is made possible because we have a community of customers who care. We recognize how special that is."

To add a donation to your bill, fill out the online form available at cfu.net/dollar. Or, complete the Add-A-Dollar section of your monthly CFU statement and mail it back. 

All Add-A-Dollar contributions are tax deductible and a year-to-date report is included on your monthly statement.

The City of Cedar Falls Department of Community Development administers the Add-A-Dollar funds and determines households that qualify. 

If you would like more information about the program, please call CFU customer service at 319-268-5280, weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
