Even if you fall on hard times, there's a way to keep cool in the
summer or warm in the winter with the help of Project SHARE (Service to
Help Alabamians with Relief on Energy), an energy assistance program
that is administered by the American Red Cross.
How can you help?
A donation of $1, $2, $5, or any whole dollar amount added to your
monthly energy bill can give comfort that would otherwise be
unaffordable.
Here's how it
works.
SHARE will pay an energy bill (electric,
gas, propane, butane or wood) once per heating season. In the cooling
season, SHARE will help people with medical emergencies if funds are
available. The American Red Cross manages Project SHARE with payments
directly to the energy supplier.
Those eligible to
receive assistance are:
- Elderly
- Disabled
- Crisis Victims
- Supplimental Security Income (SSI) Recipients
The applicant's past effort at keeping a good, consistent payment
record at the energy supplier is considered. An independent advisory
committee with statewide membership oversees the program.
All donations are used only for energy bills, and no additional costs
of the Red Cross or Wiregrass Electric are paid from these gifts.
You can sign up for Project SHARE by submitting this online form.
