The Neighbor To Neighbor Program is an initiative offered by SWEPCO that allows customers to opt into a donation plan that helps low-income families in their service territory. One of the main ways that income qualified families in Arkansas can get help paying their electric bills is through this resource. Some people who live in Texas also choose to participate in the program.
The purpose of this fund is to provide financial assistance to customers who are experiencing a crisis or who may be at risk of disconnection. The Southwestern Electric Power Company runs a program with local community action agencies. The program relies on donations and contributions from private citizens and businesses. The money collected goes to assisting people who are less fortunate, and some matching cash grants may be provided too.
Neighbor To Neighbor is especially helpful during extreme weather conditions, whether it be very cold in the winter or very hot and humid in the summer. If people do not have access to proper heating or cooling, it can be life-threatening. If someone is already struggling with financial hardship, things can become even worse if they have to deal with an unexpected emergency. Every year, hundreds of families receive assistance.
If you want to learn more about the program or apply, please call 1-888-216-3523. This program is for SWEPCO customers who have low incomes or are struggling financially. To get more information or to apply, they can reach the 24-hour customer service phone number. Visit a local social service center or community agency office in Arkansas or Texas.
The United Way provides support to customers of Southwestern Electric Power who are struggling by offering referrals and guidance. They can refer residents to local organizations that can help them with their needs.
The AMP program helps customers lower the cost of their summer-time bills. This happens because the customer will have to pay higher bills during winter. This means that your account will have an equal amount of money at the end of the year as it did at the beginning. By having more consistent monthly payments, it helps customers with budgeting and planning. It allows you to avoid the summertime increases in your bills.
