What would you do if you had to make a choice to either feed your family or pay your electric bill?
It's a difficult question to answer, yet thousands of our low-income elderly and medically disabled customers face this decision on a regular basis. Sometimes their budgets can't handle the strain of a high utility bill.
To help our fellow citizens in need, a program called PROJECT CARE was developed to assist people with paying their electric bills. Lakeland Electric customers who are 60 and older and/or disabled are eligible for assistance.
But for PROJECT CARE to continue to work, we need your help.

Round Up for Project Care
Through the Round Up program, Lakeland Electric will automatically round up participating member's utility bills to the next highest dollar amount. For example, a participating customer’s monthly bill of $153.75 would be automatically rounded up to $154.00, with the additional 25 cents going to Round Up for Project Care.
Each month the donation will vary, depending on the amount of your electric bill. There will be a separate line on your utility bill indicating the amount donated to Round Up for Project Care in that particular month. The minimum amount you contribute each month is $0.01, and the maximum is $0.99. The maximum any customer can contribute in a year is $11.88 ($0.99 times 12 months).
