Electric Assistance
Helping Families Stay Safe and Powered
At Mustard Seed Ministries, we understand that unexpected financial strain can make it difficult to cover essential living costs—like keeping the power on. Our Electric Assistance Program is designed to help individuals and families maintain safe, functional homes by preventing utility shut-offs during times of crisis.
How Our Electric Assistance Program Works
When funding is available, we provide limited, one-time assistance to help cover overdue electric bills for households experiencing hardship. Our team evaluates need on a case-by-case basis, working with utility providers when necessary to keep services active while families work toward financial stability.
We Offer
- Limited Utility Bill Assistance (electric only)
- Coordination with Local Power Companies
- Emergency Relief for Imminent Shut-Off Notices
- Referrals to Long-Term Assistance Programs
- Support for Seniors and Families in Crisis
How We Can Help
If you’re struggling to pay your electric bill and facing possible shut-off, we may be able to help. Mustard Seed Ministries offers limited utility assistance to qualifying households, along with referrals to additional support services. We’re here to provide guidance, encouragement, and resources during a challenging time.
