Utility Assistance

Through a collaborative effort between The Salvation Army, Dollar Energy and AEP, the Neighbor To Neighbor program is able to assist thousands of individuals with payment of their electric bill.

The program began in 2009 and provides assistance to avoid shut-off or restore electric service. The program runs year-round.

Contact the case worker assigned to your ZIP code to apply for help.

Please be advised that we receive a high number of calls for assistance for this program. When calling the case worker, please leave one voice mail message and someone will return your call as quickly as possible.
