This season, it’s important that we recognize and give back to our local communities and support those in need. Many organizations, such as Heart for Monroe, Common Heart, the Christmas Bureau, local food banks, and Angel Trees, give back and provide great opportunities to make a difference. Additionally, regional and national organizations like Good Shepherd, The Salvation Army Toys for Tots, and Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child work tirelessly to ensure everyone can experience the joy of the holidays. These organizations make this holiday much brighter with their dedication to providing warm meals, shelter, and gifts to make this season memorable and brighter for many. However, they can’t do it alone. Every canned food item donated and toy gifted can transform someone’s festive season.

As a Union Power member, you can make a difference for other members struggling to pay their utility bills by contributing to our Power Bucks program. To give, you can stop by one of our offices or call 704-289-3145 to speak with a customer service representative who will apply the Power Buck credit to the member’s account of your choice. You can purchase Power Bucks by check or credit card.

Whether you give up your time or resources, you are making a difference that will send a lifelong, heartwarming message. So, if you are considering starting a new tradition, this is the perfect opportunity to give back to those in need.
