What is Project Help? - For Qualifying Liberty Customers
Project Help, a project of Liberty, is neighbors helping neighbors.
Helping our neighbors is a tradition in our area, built over the years and based on our common goals and needs. Since 1982, Project Help has been one example of that neighborly spirit at work.
Project Help is an assistance program created to meet emergency energy-related expenses of the elderly and/or disabled residents in Liberty's electric and gas service areas. For many of these people, protection against extreme heat or cold can be a matter of life or death.
Project Help is funded through voluntary donations.
Who is eligible for Project Help Assistance?
To be eligible for Project Help, applicants must be a customer of Liberty, be 55 years of age or older, or be disabled to the extent that they cannot be economically self-sufficient, and have no other resource available. Eligibility is verified when making application.
To apply for Project Help assistance, please call Liberty at 1-800-206-2300 for application requirements, or visit us at Liberty Utilities

What qualifies as "emergency energy-related expenses"?
Any energy bill of the truly needy for heating or cooling may qualify for Project Help assistance.
Project Help will determine when emergency needs exist and administer the use of available funds to meet those needs. Project Help is not intended to provide ongoing support, but to provide temporary assistance for those persons in a crisis situation.
