Rocky Mountain Power Wyoming Lend a Hand utility assistance

In an effort to help customers keep their utilities on, Rocky Mountain Power Lend a Hand is one of the resources available in an emergency. Using donations from generous people from across Wyoming as well as corporate contributions, the program provides a small amount of financial assistance to qualified customers that may be able to allow them to keep their heat or electricity on.

Lend a Hand is but one of the many assistance programs as well as social services available to customers of Rocky Mountain Power in Wyoming. It tends to be very limited and focused though as it does rely on money raised from the community. Not only can the funds help pay utility bills in some cases, but it also allows families to donate to those that are less fortunate.

Contributions are what fuels Lend a Hand. The money comes from any number of sources, including but not limited to the following.

• One time donations from customers sending additional payments on their monthly bills.
• Operation Round Up, which allows people to round up their current Rocky Mountain Power energy bill to the next highest dollar.
• Fund raisers help by charities or other events.
• In some cases Lend a Hand will match what has been contributed as well.

Any dollar amount is always appreciated as a donation. Whether it is $1 or someone rounding up their bill to the next highest dollar amount on a monthly basis, all of this is collected and provided to the less fortunate for paying a portion of their heating or utility bills. The application process is strict and Lend a Hand will assist those qualified families in a crisis.
