The city of Georgetown is partnering with The Caring Place, a nonprofit in Georgetown, to provide qualified customers financial assistance with their utility bill.
The Good Neighbor Fund, which allows utility customers to add onto their monthly bill to support neighbors in need, now has a new option: Customers can elect to round up their utility bill, with all the proceeds going to the Good Neighbor Fund, a news release said. Donations support The Caring Place, which administers the fund, to provide financial assistance with utilities to more families in need.
“As more residents are affected by the pandemic, we expect to see a rise in the number of utility bill assistance requests,” City Manager David Morgan said in the release. “This is an easy way to help our neighbors.
