Nearly one in six Texans are affected by energy poverty. With the Public Utility Commission's Lite-Up electricity bill assistance program no longer available, the need for help is greater than ever. This year, Direct Energy has donated over $700,000 to the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program.
How to Donate
Donate on Your Monthly Bill:
Online: Check the Neighbor-to-Neighbor donation checkbox when you pay your bill.
By Mail: Check the "bill assistance" box on your payment slip.
Direct Energy also has a new online donation experience that you can share with your friends and family.
Need Assistance?
Through a local community action agency, those who qualify for the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program may receive up to $700 in assistance during a calendar year. Each agency screens applicants and determines who will receive assistance.
