Operation HON - Heat on Now - Ice House Experience

Our yearly Operation HON – Heat on Now – Ice House Experience allows for hundreds of Marylanders to feel what it's like to be in a home without power or electricity during winter. The event is hosted at THE AVENUE at White Marsh. Our 10x10 ice house built with 60-300 pounds of ice is constructed by ICE LAB Ice Sculptures. 

In 2019, the Fuel Fund of Maryland raised over $30,000 from this event. During Operation HON 2020, held from Friday, January 10th, 2020 to Saturday, January 11th, 2020, the Fuel Fund of Maryland raised over $28,000 for our vulnerable neighbors struggling through a utility crisis.
