The Good Neighbor Initiative
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
At Dead River Company, we believe in fueling more than homes and businesses. Through our Good Neighbor Initiative, we bring warmth and support to the communities we serve. Whether it's providing heating assistance or supporting local food banks, we're committed to making a difference where it matters most—right in our neighborhoods.

Ensuring families stay warm during harsh New England winters.
Addressing food insecurity
Partnering with local organizations to provide meals to those in need.
Supporting veteran wellness
Supporting programs that honor and assist the brave men and women who have served.
Fostering youth enrichment opportunities
Creating opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive.
