IRVING, Texas, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In the
aftermath of Hurricane Hanna, TXU Energy is here to help. The
company today announced a $10,000
donation to provide critical personal protective equipment for
first responders and to replace food that was lost during power
outages.
"We understand that Hanna's arrival presented an immense
challenge to our fellow Texans living along the Gulf Coast and in
the Rio Grande Valley. A region, already wrestling with the
outbreak of a deadly virus, has now been handed the aftermath of a
hurricane," said Brad Watson, senior
director of community affairs for TXU Energy. "As first responders,
families and volunteer organizations are forced to rethink every
part of their typical storm response, TXU Energy stands with the
heroes who are dealing with dueling crises head on."
The $10,000 donation will
directly assist communities and individuals to meet their most
urgent needs.
- $5,000 will go to
Hidalgo County for the purchase of
personal protective equipment for first responders assisting flood
victims.
- $5,000 will go to
Mission 911 in Corpus Christi for the purchase of sanitary
supplies, and to help clients restock refrigerated food lost during
extended power outages.
Additionally, as TXU Energy is doing for customers
impacted by the pandemic, the company will work with individual
customers impacted by Hurricane Hanna to provide payment
flexibility. TXU Energy customers should call 1-800-242-9113
to:
- Waive late fees
- Extend payment due dates
- Reduce down payments and arrange deferred payment plans
so balances can be paid over five equal installments
Bill-payment assistance is also available through
TXU Energy AidSM . The funds, which
are donated by the company, its employees, and customers, are
allocated to existing TXU Energy Aid agency partners serving the
Gulf Coast and the Rio Grande Valley.
