Get help with your Volunteer Energy bill!
If you’re low-income and you’re struggling to pay your Volunteer Energy bill, you might be able to get assistance through state programs. Each state has different programs available and, since Volunteer Energy is in different states, you will have to apply for help through your state. There are different requirements you’ll need to meet including ones for income. While LIHEAP can be very helpful for people who are low-income, it might not cover your entire electric bill.

The Salvation Army might be a way you can get help paying your Volunteer Energy bill. While different Salvation Army locations have different resources and requirements you’ll need to meet to get help, you might be able to get up to $200 to help with your bill. This could make it easier for you to pay the rest of the bill and to keep you from having your electric turned off. Many locations require you to fill out information on your income, family size and electric bill information. Help is not available at all Salvation Army locations and might not be available depending on the funding.
