Long Island nonprofit helps families stay warm amid shutdown and cold snap

Who We Are

Fueling Kindness, founded by Tragar Home Services, was created after witnessing too many of our Long Island neighbors struggling to stay warm each winter.

As a third-generation, family-owned business, Tragar has always believed that true comfort means showing up for one another, not just as customers, but as neighbors.

Fueling Kindness is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit powered by Tragar Home Services (EIN: 33-1551229)
