The Salem/Shushan Fuel Fund was started by dedicated Salemite Mike Keyes two years ago, as a way for the community to provide for those in need of help with their heating bills. Local businesses and residents have been generous in their support of the fund. It has served many families since its inception. This year is proving to be a challenging year for heating budgets. It is time to build up the Fund to meet that challenge. Come to Salem, enjoy our free Winter Festival, and help spread the warmth!
