LCEC introduces Power to Share by Rounding Up Program
LCEC recently announced the launch of its Power to Share by Rounding Up Program.
The program is an expansion of its Power to Share program, a short-term emergency assistance program created in 2009 to assist financially strained customers having difficulty making electric bill payments through a partnership between LCEC and the United Way. It is available to qualifying customers, and it is funded through donations by LCEC employees, business partners and customers.
Power to Share by Rounding Up expands the program by providing participating customers with the opportunity to round up their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar, making it easier to donate. For example, a $150.25 bill would be rounded up to $151. The additional 75 cents will be allocated to the Power to Share Program. Customers can also add an additional monthly contribution or make a one-time donation. Excluding additional donations, the maximum year contribution per customer is $12.
One-hundred percent of the funds are allocated to the Power to Share Program and administered by the United Way to help pay the electric bill of someone in need. Customers can enroll through the LCEC SmartHub app, online at www.lcec.net or at 239-656-2300 with an LCEC customer care professional. If a customer decides to opt-out later, they can simply use the same enrollment channels to do so.
