Helping a New Hampshire Veteran Stay Warm This Winter

For one New Hampshire Veteran, preparing for another cold winter brought an added layer of uncertainty.

After experiencing a significant health setback years ago, he remained committed to working and maintaining his independence. Despite ongoing physical challenges, he continued working part-time until an unexpected layoff left him facing an uncertain financial future.

With limited income and annual heating expenses approaching $2,400, keeping his home warm through the winter was becoming an increasing concern. Yet even after losing his job, he remained determined to meet his financial obligations and had already begun searching for new employment.

Through the 2026 Pancakes for Roger Veterans Housing Support & Improvement Grant Program, he received $1,500 in assistance, paid directly to his heating fuel provider. This support will cover approximately 63% of his annual heating expenses, easing a significant financial burden during the coldest months of the year.

For this Veteran, the assistance means more than help with a heating bill. It offers some breathing room during an unexpected setback and the reassurance that his service and sacrifices have not been forgotten.

Sometimes, making a meaningful difference is as simple as helping a Veteran keep the heat on.

Special thanks to Northeast Delta Dental, whose generous support helped make this assistance possible.

That's what Pancakes for Roger is all about: Creating pathways to improve the lives of Veterans and their communities.
