Churches that help - I need details on them

[Laz]

Hello,
I have called all the churches in my area for assistance with my electric bill, no one seems to have the funds to provide help. I can not come up with the funds by the disconnection date on my own. Please if you know of any assistance programs or other options I have besides churches that maybe able to help, I would greatly appreciate it if you would get back to me. My bill is due before April 24, 2011 or they will disconnect. How is someone suppose to get by without power?

So you tried churches, and they are out? Sounds like you tried charities too. So maybe now want to try energy programs from utility companies. Things like Operation Roundup. Many utility companies offer direct financial assistance and other aid to those who need help. This program focuses on the northeast part of the nation.

Honestly, there is no secret. You just need to call them and ask. If they don't have funds, they can often redirect you and tell you where to go.
