Are you looking for a simple way to give back to your community? Consider participating in Round Up for Change. This program offers FPB customers the opportunity to round up their bill to the next highest dollar. For example, if your month’s bill is $128.62, you pay $129.00. The difference of 38 cents will go to Bluegrass Community Action Partnership’s Winter Care program. Winter Care funds are available to those most in need to pay utility bills for winter services.
The pennies you contribute each month to Round Up for Change, when combined with the pennies of other customers could change lives.
By participating, you will contribute an estimated $6 per year – a small amount to help a worthy cause. If 20,000 of our customers participated, approximately $120,000 could be contributed annually to the Winter Care fund to assist our neighbors most in need.
This is a voluntary program. Customers can sign up or opt out at any time by completing the Round Up for Change form.
FPB customers in need of Winter Care assistance can contact the BGCAP Franklin County office at 502-695-5615.
Winter Care Program
FPB recognizes that some may want to share the power of giving but do not have a specific customer account to designate. That’s where the Winter Care program comes in. This is a program with Blue Grass Community Action Partnership (BGCAP). BGCAP offers community services like the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Winter Care and the Weatherization program.
FPB customers may notice a box on their bill labeled as Winter Care. This gives the opportunity for a tax-deductible donation that will be given to BGCAP. Winter Care funds are available to those most in need to pay utility bills for winter services. Funds are distributed by BGCAP when client assessment identifies a need in the home. Winter Care funds received from FPB are used for FPB clients only, and FPB matches contributions to Winter Care dollar for dollar.
