How Project Help Assists Those in Need During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Project Help is an emergency energy assistance program that assists people in need living within the KUB service area, regardless of the energy source in their home. Project Help is committed to helping customers who need financial assistance on their utility bills due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of Project Help’s efforts to assist during this time, and in addition to KUB assistance measures already in place, Project Help is relaxing its income requirements, and more funds are becoming available to customers impacted by the current economic effects of COVID-19. If you have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are unsure of your applicability to receive Project Help funds, please contact the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC) Energy and Community Services line at 865-637-6700.
Project Help depends solely on contributions from the community. KUB collects Project Help donations and CAC distributes them to qualifying families and individuals. All administrative costs are paid by KUB and CAC. One hundred percent of all funds collected go directly to help people with their heating bills. Please consider donating through the means detailed below.
