Dominion Power should have other options for you. Social Services is not only choice.
Here is a comprehensive listing of energy bill programs in North Carolina. They range from LIHEAP to a plan known as EnergyShare, which is run by Dominion. The phone numbers for the various NC utility programs are on the link attached, as well as further details.

Hello, I’m a 33 year mother with 2 children, and I’m also pregnant. I work full-time and live in public housing. My work hours have been cut. I’m not able to get my bills under control because of unexpected things that took place the last couple of months. I’m behind in rent, and electricity, which was due to get cut off today, and I’m due to be evicted next Friday. No programs have funding to help me. I've been to social services, Salvation army in New Mexico, Catholic Charities, churches. I really need a little help.

Yes, funding is always limited. If you are behind on rent and about to be kicked out, and behind on utilities, then some New Mexico charity may find it hard to assist you. At least you seem willing and able to work. But the challenge is when you are too far behind on bills, your options are more limited. So try this for more details. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... grams.html

If social services is out, then try a charity. As maybe they have some funds too. But not their resources are always limited. But find options here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... bills.html

Yes I spent most of my day and called places along with my wife and there are no funds available from Social Services and I cannot apply at some places until September. Even though I was told by the power company that funds were available in my area. So to keep myself from losing everything I have to take out one of those quick loan things and hope I survive. I was on the payment plan, made my payment on the 4th, but it didn't process until Monday the 7th, so the turned me off and took me off the plan because a computer couldn't process it by the 5th, which was a Saturday and apparently the computer had the weekend off. Funny because my banks computer must not have had the weekend off and gladly took the money out of my account on Saturday.
They claim they took me off the plan in June, even though I made payments for June, July, and August plus turned in my paperwork in June for the payment plan which I am on, which they also said they never got. I have been on this plan for years and have never had an issue like I just had. If I was able to make the payment earlier I would have, but there is a reason I am on the plan. I am a father of 3 who makes just enough to barely pay my bills and I need funds from Social Services. I can't afford food, clothes, school supplies, gas, and every other thing. But we are just numbers in a system and there is no human compassion anymore and everyone is just doing their job. I appreciate the information from the email, it was on the website where I got this email.
