New Mexico Gas Company is introducing a new heating assistance fund, called HEAT New Mexico, that will be available to help income-qualifying customers pay their heating bills this winter. This fund comes from donations from fellow customers like you who want to help New Mexicans in need. For every dollar donated to this heating assistance fund, New Mexico Gas Company will contribute $1.50, up to $150,000 this heating season. HEAT New Mexico is administered by the Salvation Army.

We hope you’ll consider contributing to this new fund so that as many people as possible can be helped to keep warm this winter. Making your tax deductible donations is easy. Simply make a notation on the payment stub of your New Mexico Gas Company bill and send your donations with your payment. Or, you can call us and pledge a donation for any amount to be added to your monthly gas bill. Thank you!

For more information on HEAT New Mexico, contact New Mexico Gas Company at 888-NM-GAS-CO (888-664-2726).
