The Maine Energy Marketers Association in Brunswick, in conjunction with Maine’s heating fuel retailers and WGME CBS 13, is putting the finishing touches on its annual Fuel Your Love Month which provides heating fuel to deserving Mainers.

Running all of February, the association will invite Mainers to nominate someone in need to receive 100 gallons of heating fuel at no cost.

On Feb. 28 MEMA president and CEO Charlie Summers will, by random drawing, select 50 names from all nominations received to receive 100 gallons of heating fuel, according to a news release from the association.

A special highlight of Fuel Your Love month comes on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, when Maine heating fuel retailers who are sponsors deliver a little extra warmth and savings to their customers that may need a little extra help this winter by filling their oil tanks, at no charge.

“Fuel Your Love Month is just one of the many ways MEMA members demonstrate their commitment to their communities and the state of Maine,” said Charlie Summers, president and CEO of the Maine Energy Marketers Association. “The men and women who run our heating fuel companies are some of the most caring and generous Mainers I know, and they make a positive difference in the lives of all Maine citizens each and every day.”

This year’s Fuel Your Love Month sponsors include Augusta Fuel Company (Kennebec County), Colby & Gale (Lincoln County), Consumers Fuel (Waldo County), Dead River (Androscoggin, Oxford, and Penobscot counties), Dixfield Discount Fuel (Oxford County), Eastern Propane & Oil (York County), Murray-Heutz Oil & Propane (Androscoggin County), Maine Energy (Penobscot County), Maine Standard BioFuels (Cumberland County), RH Foster (Penobscot County) and V.L. Tammaro (Washington County).

Nominations can be made online at maineenergyfacts.com.
