Round-Up time!

About
a year ago, your Glasgow EPB began a “round-up” program. You’re
familiar with the concept: You decide to participate in the program and
the amount of your monthly bill is “rounded up” to the next nearest
dollar (the most that could be contributed in a year’s time is
$11.88). That additional amount is put into a separate fund where it’s
used for a specific purpose.
In
the EPB’s case, the money is given to CERF, the Community Emergency
Relief Fund. “Community Relief,” as they’re usually known, helps a great
number of people in Glasgow and Barren County. They assist with utility
bills and other important bills, deposits – they even get people in
touch with other agencies for help with things that they don’t handle
themselves.
Community
Relief has helped many EPB customers, especially when the bills tend to
go up in the summer and the winter, when usage is usually higher
because of weather extremes. We appreciate the assistance that Community
Relief gives to our customers.
We
could give Community Relief more money, and give it more often, if more
of our customers took part in our Round-Up Program. Out of all of the
EPB’s customers, fewer than 100 are currently part of the Round-Up
Program. You’ll never miss the small amount you give, but when it’s
added to what others contribute, it adds up to a lot of help for local
people in need. Please consider becoming a part of the program. You can
join with only a phone call to (270) 651-8341. Help spread the word in
your family, in your club or at your church: Everyone’s pennies can add
up to a lot!
