Fund created to help El Pasoans pay for past due electric bills
EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Funding from organizations are providing assistance to El Pasoans behind on their electric bills.
El Paso Electric, Catholic Diocese of El Paso, Temple Mount Sinai and the El Paso Community Foundation are able to offer help through a newly developed fund.
The Bright Hearts of El Paso Fund will help El Paso County residents who are behind on their electric bill payments.
The fund will cover a portion of the down payment needed to set up a payment plan. Through this effort, El Paso Electric will match every dollar donated to the Bright Hearts of El Paso Fund. The goal is to raise $500,000 before the match, or $1 million total. Donations may be made at epcf.org/brighthearts.
Currently, the electric company has more than 40,000 customers who are behind on their bills. Of those, 9,000 are behind on their bills by three months or more and could be at risk of service disconnection.
For questions about Bright Hearts of El Paso, call the El Paso Community Foundation at 915-533-4020 or go to epcf.org/brighthearts.
