VEPCO announces second year of Energy Share program Virginia Electric and Power Company and Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) today announced plans for the second year of EnergyShare, a fuel assistance program begun last winter to help people in need pay their home energy bills. Vepco and VNG are asking their customers to add $1, $2, $5, $10 or $25 to their monthly bills as contributions to EnergyShare. The funds will then be distributed by local non-profit agencies in the Vepco/VNG service areas to eligible individuals who have exhausted all other forms of fuel assistance. Last year EnergyShare provided $363,095 in assistance to 7,104 people in need. A total of 2,102 families were helped, including many Perquimans County families, 1,070 children under five years of age, 402 adults over 60 and 245 handicapped people. "Our customers and the public who contribute to EnergyShare are the most important element of the program," said T. Justin Moore, Jr., chairman of the board of directors of Dominion Resources, Inc., the holding company of Vepco and VNG. "We found last year that contributors wanted the opportunity to help others pay their heating bills and to stay warm. It is their generosity toward their neighbors, friends and even people they don't know which makes EnergyShare work." Last year the Vepco/VNG computers were set up to recognize overpayments in increments of only $1, $2 or $5, but this year the program has been expanded to allow more flexibility in donations. EnergyShare contributions, which are tax-deductible and can be made through April 14, will be documented on the customer's next monthly bill. Persons may also contribute dirctly to one of 27 agencies that are administering the program. Vepco and VNG employees can contribute to EnergyShare through a payroll deduction plan. Large industrial customers, energy suppliers, businesses, churches and civic organizations may become EnergyShare partners by contributing money to the program or by promoting it among their employees, customers or members. Vepco and VNG will contribute up to $50,000 to local volunteer agencies to help cover costs of administering EnergyShare. Dominion Resources will contribute up to $60,000 in matching funds to help persons in need pay their Vepco and VNG bills. The only role played by Vepco and VNG in EnergyShare is the collection of employee and customer contributions, which will be turned over to volunteer agencies for distribution. To qualify for EnergyShare, a person must first have used any available federal or state fuel ! assistance or been ruled ineligible for government fuel ! assistance program. Other eligibility requirements include : I ?Residence in the Vepco/VNG service area. ?A combined household ! income at SO percent or below the local median income level. ?Unemployment or a demonstrated family crisis. EnergyShare recipients can ! receive only one payment during the heating season, but they may. use the funds for any energy bQE ? gas, electricity, coal, wood OT oil. EnergyShare funds are distributed in the form of payments directly to energy suppliers. The fund distribution formuhr eligibility requirements and criteria for selection of the volunteer agencies werg determined by citizen oversight committees comprised of customers in Vepco's service area. Those interested in applying for EnergyShare assistance should contact their nearest participating agency. g PRE-CHRISTMAS SIDE WALK SALE ( > FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2 . ^ Avoid the Christmas rush and save on stocking stuffers 1 Stuffed Animals ?
