Dear Friend,
Could you survive without access to air-conditioning during the dog days of summer? According to FEMA, heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. Fortunately, Irving Cares provides utility assistance for an average of 253 families per month who are experiencing a verifiable crisis and are threatened with utility disconnection.
Irving Cares works in partnership with TXU Energy, Direct Energy, and Reliant to provide electric utility assistance. During the colder months, we work with Atmos Energy to provide gas utility assistance. Customers who receive financial assistance with a utility payment are asked to complete Money Matters class online, a basic training to improve budgeting skills. Customers are always invited to participate in the Invest in Yourself Program, which provides a coordinated set of services to help low-income families obtain employment, strengthen their finances, and become self-sufficient.
Please help families in need this summer! It is easy to donate online to help others. Thank you for caring about your neighbors!
Sincerely,
Kyle Taylor
CEO
