Baltimore Gas and Electric does offer some financial assistance programs for the low income and people faced with disconnections. Call them and ask about these programs. Some of them are called Electric Universal Service Program (EUSP) as well as Maryland Energy Assistance Program (MEAP). Get more information on Maryland utility assistance. As far as non-profits, charities, and other agencies, find the City of Baltimore assistance programs. Call places like the Greater Baltimore Area Salvation Army. All the info is on the main page/links I here.

Hi, I'm trying to see what options are available for help with power bills. I live with my mom taking care of her and she is disabled and on oxygen daily and so therefore having power is essential to her health. We know about Red Cross and community action helping out but I wanted to see if there were and other places that helped like churches.
Any information at all is greatly appreciated thanks in advance. Here is some bills I can't pay, and I am so much what if they shut electricity, gas and water, can't pay my car payment and phone, I don't what should I do. Please advise me what should I do. Hope to hear from you
Thanks
