Nashville Electric Service Project Help assistance program

Nashville Electric Service and Project Help provides emergency utility bill assistance to qualified low income families. The funds are the result of donations from the community, and NES partners closely with NeedLink of Nashville (which used to be known as Big Brothers) as well as Kroger stores, which collects donations.

All information, as well as applications to Nashville Electric Service Project Help, are processed by the customer service department. The company will assist callers, help them enroll into Project Help, or they will direct them to other applicable low income energy bill assistance programs, including LIHEAP. In fact usually more than one energy bill assistance program is used at the same time.

All of the financial assistance is targeted towards low income customers of NES. There are income criteria that need to be met, as well as the applicant also needs to prove their need for help. In addition to the Project Help donation program being used for the working poor, the funds can also help the elderly, disabled, and other vulnerable individuals. As the fact is also that many of those vulnerable families also live on a fixed income, such as SSI disability or pensions.

Nashville Electric Service Project Help is not a solution in of itself. While 100% of the donations are used to help pay electric and utility bills, the dollar amounts involved are small. It may be tens of dollars given to a struggling customer or senior citizen. In addition, since it is donation driven, the money could run out.

So the best solution is to get utility bill assistance from NES Project Help as well as other regional charities, non-profits, and government organizations too. One non-profit that can provide information on all of the resources out there is NeedLink of Nashville. To apply for emergency funds for energy bills, dial 615-736-6900 to start the application process For Project Help.

 

 

Tax Deductible Donations – There are two main ways to give back to Nashville Electric Service Project Help. One is to add one dollar to a monthly utility bill. There is a donation form that can be completed, and customer service will give more information on the process. As noted, all of that contribution will go to help the less fortunate in the community. The one dollar is donated each and every month.

However note that the one dollar donation can be started or stopped at any time. It is not a long term commitment. In addition, one hundred percent of the money goes to pay utility bills, and customers can also get a deduction on their income taxes when the contribute.

Kroger also has a way to donate to Project Help from Nashville Electric. It involves donating when shopping at the store. Some small contributions may be made to Project Help when checking out on your card, and once again 100% of that money will also go to paying utility bills.
