THE LIGHTS ARE OFF - EVERYONE IS HOME
Hundreds of people struggle to pay their electricity bills each month.
Neighbor Helping Neighbor , in partnership with Cooperative Christian Ministry and the City of Concord, is here to help.
If each of the 39,000 City of Concord utility accounts opted to round up
the impact would be life changing within our community.
Average $0.50/Month X 12 Months x 39,000 Accounts =
$234,000

David Alexander
Professional, Teamwork
During the Tornado warning and severe thunderstorm on Thursday February 6th Officer Alexander came to the communications center for shelter. The communications center had multiple calls that officers couldn't respond to because of the storm. Officer Alexander began calling the customers on his personal phone and was able to assist us with clearing several of the pending calls over the phone. We along with the citizens he assisted appreciate all of his help. Thanks so much!

Concern, Professional, Timeliness, Customer Focus, Communication, Teamwork, Great Service
A friend had an issue with her utility bill. She had been asked (by call center) to call back the next day allowing time for a reread on her meter. Angela had it resolved and contacted my friend long before she was instructed to call back. The quick turn around and great service recovery Angela exhibited was quite impressive. Thanks Angela!
