TXU Energy Expands Support for Texans This Winter
$350,000 in assistance will help fund food pantries, holiday meals, and electricity bill-payment support statewide.
As the holiday season approaches, TXU Energy recognizes the growing challenges many Texans face. This year, the company has decided to expand its Winter Warmth program, committing a significant $350,000 to help families maintain warmth and nourishment during this crucial time.
Collaborating with Non-Profits to Make a Difference
The funds will be allocated to TXU Energy's established non-profit and social service partners across the state. From the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast, these organizations are dedicated to aiding families by providing vital resources such as groceries, holiday turkeys, and winter blankets. They will also assist customers struggling to pay their electricity bills.
Scott Hudson, president of TXU Energy, emphasizes the urgency of this initiative: "Food banks and local nonprofits are under increasing pressure to meet the rising demand. When our partners shared the extent of the need, we knew we had to step up and enhance our Winter Warmth program. They’re doing incredible work, and we are proud to support their efforts. ”
