Helping Others

A financial crisis created by unforeseen life events can happen to people from all walks of life. These financial hardships often lead many struggling to pay utility bills. Through community-funded programs, small donations collected can add up to make a big difference in the lives of those in our community.

UtiliCare

Help make a difference in someone’s life right here in your own community. UtiliCare helps provide utility assistance to those in our community who need utility assistance. Unique situations and unforeseen life events can create difficulties in maintaining utility services from time to time. UtiliCare makes it easier for customers who would like to help those less fortunate and facing financial hardships in our community.

Donating is Easy! All you need to do is select your level of contribution to be made, either a one-time donation or a monthly recurring donation. Your contribution of choice will be included on your monthly Jackson Energy Authority utility bill. Each month, donations are collected and dispersed to Southwest Human Resource Agency (SWHRA) to be used exclusively for Jackson Energy Customers needing utility assistance.

If you are interested in participating in the UtiliCare program, please call Jackson Energy Authority at 731-422-7500 to have one of our Customer Service Representatives get you enrolled. At any time for any reason, you may opt-out of the program by calling Jackson Energy Authority.
