Just in time for Christmas, MLGW teamed up with the Neighborhood Christian Center to assist qualified low-income seniors and disabled residents of Shelby County through the Power of Warmth Program.
The Neighborhood Christian Center accepted applications and screened eligible households for heaters or blankets at 785 Jackson Ave. on Dec. 16 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
To qualify for the Power of Warmth Program, each applicant was required to be a resident of Shelby County as well as disabled and/or a low-income senior, age 60 or older. Applicants also had to provide the following credentials:
- Tennessee State ID or Drivers License to verify age and address.
- The most recent pay stub or Social Security Income statement to verify income.
- Proper certification information for people who have a physical disability but do not meet the age requirement.
Customers were encouraged to call the Neighborhood Christian Center’s hotline number at (901) 881-6013 for a pre-recorded message detailing the necessary qualifications and credentials for eligibility.
MLGW is the largest three-service public power utility in the nation, serving more than 420,000 customers in Memphis and Shelby County.
