Please do your best to clear a path to your fill pipe. This will allow for quick, efficient deliveries and our drivers will greatly appreciate it! Stay warm!

01/23/2026

Due to increased demand, cold temperatures and the impending storm, deliveries are running about 5 days out. Please be sure to allow sufficient time when requesting oil deliveries. We kindly request you keep paths, driveways, and access to your tank/ fill pipes clear. We appreciate each and every one of you for being part of our AFCO Fuel Family. Stay safe and warm.

Another option to help with home heating costs: Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union's Energy Loan - an unsecured loan in the amt of $1,000 - $5,000 for home heating fuel with a 12 month repayment term. Today's rate is 6.5% (much lower than most credit cards). You do need a minimum credit score of 640. I encourage you to visit Angela at the MHVFU Port Ewen Branch at 185 Broadway, Port Ewen, NY 12466. Most are approved same or next day. Minimal paperwork!

As many of you know, the start of applications for the 2025-2026 Regular HEAP benefit has been delayed until further notice. There are additional resources that may help to meet your emergency heating needs. Please note, I do not know details or have any additional information beyond what is listed below. I'm simply sharing resources:

Family of Woodstock, a United Way agency, is donating minimum deliveries of fuel or kerosene based on income and need. Their Kingston office is located at 31 Albany Avenue. Office phone # is (845) 679-2485.

Emergency Assistance, a category of NYS Temporary Assistance can help if you have no fuel for heating in the cold weather period. If you have emergency needs, contact UC DSS ASAP, so you can be interviewed and informed in writing about the decision on your emergency the same day you apply. Emergencies are handled on a daily basis. You DO NOT have to be eligible for ongoing Temporary Assistance to receive Emergency Assistance.

Contact Ulster County DSS Emergency Assistance https://www.ulstercountyny.gov/Departments/Social-Services/Divisions/Temporary-Assistance/Emergency-Assistance
by calling (845) 334-5440 or visiting 1021 Development Court
Kingston, NY 12401
Monday - Friday
8 AM - 5 PM
If your emergency is after-hours, call the Family of Woodstock Hotline at (845) 679-2485 or (845) 331-7080

Or, you can call the OTDA Hotline: at 1-800-342-3009.

You can also apply on-line at https://mybenefits.ny.gov/mybenefits/begin
TA recipients that have an emergency, need tell their TA worker for immediate attention.

Ulster County Sheriff Office (845) 338-3640 is also able to assist with after-hours heating emergencies.

As I become aware of available community resources, I will share.

If you or experiencing an urgent need or situation such as homelessness, hunger, being evicted, being unable to heat your home, or experiencing domestic violence, you may be eligible for Emergency Assistance (EA).

Please be patiet with us as we work around the clock to get to each of our customers, more accurately, our family, as quickly as possible. We are currently booking out 5-7 business days so be sure to check your gauges! A little kindness goes a long way.

01/22/2025

We’re not horsing around when we remind you to keep an eye on your gauges. The average home uses 5-7 gallons per day. This increases with the COLD temperatures! We recommend placing your orders when your tank is no lower than 1/4 of a tank. Trot on over to www.afcofuel.com to place your order today!

01/21/2025

It’s COLD out there! Please order your fuel early and bear with us as we try to get to everyone as quickly as possible! We appreciate each and every one of you!

We’re happy to be able to help those in need during what should be a joyful time of year. Domestic violence awareness and support resources are so often under-funded and overlooked. We will always have a place here at AFCO Fuel for donations.

Just love our customers! Stay warm!
