Funded by employees, retirees and customers, Project SHARE helps eligible customers pay for energy emergencies such as fuel bills, repairs to heating equipment, home weatherization and water heater replacements.
To receive Project SHARE financial assistance, a member of a household must be 60 years of age or older, or have a disability or a serious medical condition, and have an energy emergency.
The American Red Cross administers the program by receiving applications, determining eligibility, and distributing the funds. Each dollar donated helps someone in need. Nearly $6 million has been distributed to more than 30,000 customers since the program began in 1982. Contributions are tax deductible.
Three ways you can give:
- Through Automatic Giving, have NYSEG add a whole dollar amount to your future
NYSEG bills.
- Add exactly $1, $2 or $5 to your next NYSEG bill payment. We will forward the money to the American Red Cross.
-
Send a check payable to "Project SHARE" directly to: Project SHARE c/o American Red Cross Southern Tier Chapter 620 E. Main Street Endicott, NY 13760
