The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of
The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), is kicking off the third year of
efforts to warm the homes of those struggling to pay winter heating
bills through its Gift of Power program. DP&L will provide a
$115,000 corporate grant, along with DP&L customer and
community donations, to assist families and neighbors in staying
warm. Every dollar given is administered by The Salvation Army.
Since the program launch in 2015, more than 1000 families in the
DP&L service territory have received assistance. “The Gift of
Power fund allows us to lend a hand to those who need it the most,
helping to avoid the difficult choice between a warm home and other
necessities. Through the generous donations from DP&L customers
along with support from DPL and our community, we have lessened
their burden and helped our neighbors on a path back to
self-sufficiency,” said Tom Raga, DP&L President and CEO.
Anyone can get behind when unexpected things happen. The loss of
a job, death of a spouse, major medical bills or other financial
hardships can make it difficult to stay current with monthly
bills. Donations to the Gift of Power help to prevent
disconnection or to quickly restore power to customers who have
been disconnected.
The Gift of Power helps DP&L customers who are just above
the income guidelines for other Ohio Energy Assistance programs.
The program begins the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day
(January 16, 2018) and runs through April 15, 2018.
