To make sure the elderly, ill and those facing financial hardship
are not forgotten, Dominion Virginia Power, Dominion North Carolina Power and
Dominion East Ohio created EnergyShare.
Highlights
EnergyShare is a fuel assistance program of last resort for anyone who faces
financial hardships from unemployment or family crisis.
It provides heating assistance in winter (for any heating source -- oil,
gas kerosene, wood and electricity) and cooling assistance in summer (> learn more).
Payments go directly to energy vendors and every cent donated goes to benefit
those in need because Dominion pays for the program's administrative expenses.
Funds come from tax-deductible donations from customers, stockholders, employees,
EnergyShare Partners and Dominion. Funds are distributed through a network
of nonprofit health and human service agencies.
