Neighbor Helping Neighbor

The “Neighbor Helping Neighbor” program is a community effort among churches, civic groups and SMEC to help families pay for electrical service. It is a simple program where interested members can specify a monthly amount to pledge and then have that amount added to their electric bill. All donations will be used to pay for electricity in SMEC’s service area. Funds are distributed through the local Community Action Neighborhood Centers.

SMEC members that wish to participate in “Neighbor Helping Neighbor” can print a form.
