Northwest Bank matches donations made to the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon in support of Dollar Energy Fund
Pittsburgh, PA (December 3, 2025): As temperatures drop, energy bills go up, making it difficult for some working families to keep the heat on. Northwest Bank is proud to support Dollar Energy Fund, which works to improve the quality of life for households experiencing hardships by providing utility assistance in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.
During the Winter Warm Up Request-A-Thon through 3WS 94.5FM, Northwest Bank matched every donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000. This year, the community donated a record $190,630, helping at least 530 families in the Pittsburgh area with their utility bills. “At our core, Northwest is a neighborhood bank. The local community we serve is the lifeblood of our organization,” said Chris Claspy, district manager, Northwest Bank. “By providing support to cover the cost to keep a house warm, we are helping families through the ups and downs of life.”
