Not having enough money to pay utility bills is a harsh reality for thousands of low-income families. Many of us don't give a second thought to the daily comforts of taking a warm shower, cooking a hot meal and sleeping in a cozy home. But for many families in Southwest Gas service areas, life without heat is a chilling reality.

Energy Share, a Southwest Gas customer assistance program, can help these families stay warm during the winter.

How The Program Works

This program is an emergency fund which provides direct assistance to qualified people with unexpected financial difficulties, such as the loss of a job or a medical emergency. All Energy Share donations are managed and distributed by The Salvation Army. One hundred percent of all donations are used to help families and individuals in need. If you require assistance provided through Energy Share, please contact the local Salvation Army in your area.

How You Can Help

Giving to Energy Share is easy. Just contact your local Southwest Gas office and indicate the amount you want to contribute each month. Southwest Gas will then show your pledge as a separate item on your monthly gas bill. You can also make a one-time donation by sending a check made out to the Salvation Army. Customers donating to Energy Share will receive a summary statement of donations for the preceding year on their January bill.
