The Berks-Schuylkill Oil Heat Association (BSOHA) donated $6,100 to the Berks County Salvation Army and the Schuylkill County Salvation Army on February 17, with each Corps receiving half of the total. This is the second largest annual donation BSOHA has presented to the Salvation Army since 2006. The BSOHA annual charitable contribution has directly helped the heating needs of local residents to a total of $81,100.

Derek & Betty Barrett – Salvation Army Pottsville and Anthony Calafaty – Salvation Army Reading accepted the presentation from BSOHA President Kevin Steele and BSOHA Secretary/Treasurer Chris Crooks.

“We are very pleased to make this donation to the Salvation Army. With rising energy and inflationary costs, the household budget does not go as far as it did a few years ago. I could not think of a better way to help people in these tough economic times. To reach in excess of $81,000 in donations from our local association is truly remarkable.” stated Kevin Steele President of BSOHA.

Steele & Son Inc., Hafer Petroleum, Jack Rich Inc., Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, Marathon Petroleum, Pennsylvania Petroleum Association, Santilli Oil Co.
