Virginia Power collects contributions from its customers all year
long via bill inserts and direct donations. During the winter
months (and recently, the summer months as well), they give a portion of these funds to AIM to disburse for
helping people with their heating bills. The assistance is for
residents in Charlottesville and Albemarle County only. If a client
qualifies for assistance from Energy Share funds, they can receive
help with any electric bill (not just for electricity from
Dominion), heating oil, natural gas, propane, kerosene, or even fire
wood. To apply, applicants need to make an appointment with CARES
(Coalition for Assisting Residents in Emergency Situations) at
295-3171, ext. 3050 which is just across the hall from AIM. If an
applicant qualifies for assistance, they will be sent to AIM where
the payment will be arranged. |
