One of the primary utility assistance programs from Canby Utility is Share the Warmth. It uses donations from the public in order to help qualified customers pay their energy bills. So not only can some people get help with their bills, but it also allows individuals to give back to their community by donating to the less fortunate.
The premise of Share the Warmth is Neighbors Helping Neighbors. So this means that Canby Utility and local partners are involved in collecting money from people across the region. Contributions can be made monthly or as a one time payment. Any type of donation is always appreciated, no matter how small.
The fact is that it can be very difficult for someone to keep their heat on during the winter. Some households are faced with a crisis, such as an unexpected medical condition or car repair. Others are elderly and need to decide between utility bills and maybe a medication.
There are far too many people living in Canby Oregon who are having trouble making ends meet. They struggle with their utilities and others bills as the result of financial hardships or another condition. So Share the Warmth may be able to assist.
The customer assistance program from Canby allows neighbors and people who want to give back to help other people within the community. Individuals have the ability to help, especially during the winter months. However, it does also operate year round, but the focus is on keeping the heat on during the cold winter months.
When donating, all donations made will be tax deductible, but always feel free to talk to your attorney or accountant for advice. Money can be contributed one time or through a monthly round up type service on your bills.

The bottom line is that Share the Warmth provides qualified low income and struggling customers with very limited amounts of financial assistance. Most of the donations are used to help with heating and other bills during the winter.
To donate, please always keep in mind that all contributions are voluntary. The program is solely supported by generous contributions from Canby Utility and everyday people in the region.
In the other hand, in order to apply for assistance, contact Canby Utility for more information. It is always best to call them right away, before a shut off of your account occurs. Do not wait until a disconnection notice has been provided. Call (503) 266-1156.
