Atmos Energy, through its ‘Fueling Safe and Thriving Communities’ program, will donate $1 million to help customers stay warm this winter or weatherize their homes.
Officials say the company will distribute funds across its eight-state service area in partnership with more than 100 energy assistance agencies and nonprofit organizations.
Several agencies in Kentucky will split $99,500. Organizations that received funding locally include Pennyrile Allied Community Services, the Aaron McNeil House, and the Salvation Army.
In addition, Atmos Energy offers year-round relief through energy assistance programs such as ‘Sharing the Warmth’. The company is also operating under the Public Service Commission’s order suspending all non-pay shut-offs and waving late fees through October 20.
Atmos Energy officials urge customers in need to reach out to their local community action agency for any possible LIHEAP dollars that may be available to help with their natural gas bills. Customers may locate an agency here or calling 211.
