Gratitude is often at the heart of Thanksgiving, but its impact does not have to end when the holiday does. For many, the season reminds us that giving can reach far beyond the dinner table, especially when it stays close to home. Union Power is shining a light on opportunities to give and showing how even a small act of kindness can help create meaningful change.
Give the Gift of Power
Sometimes, a little extra help can go a long way. If you know a member who may need help paying their electric bill, you can purchase Power Bucks. The minimum purchase is $25, and the full amount will be applied as a credit to the member’s next bill. To purchase Power Bucks, call 704-289-3145 and speak to a customer service representative.
Pennies with Purpose
A few cents at a time can become a powerful force for good. For less than $1 per month, you can make a big difference through the Operation Round Up® program by simply rounding up your monthly electric bill to the next whole dollar. The maximum amount any member could contribute in a year is less than $12. All Operation Round Up® funds are allocated to the Union Power Charitable Foundation (UPCF) and will stay within our local communities. To sign up, call 704-289-3145 or use the member portal.
A Foundation for Giving Back
Some of the most meaningful change happens close to home. Through UPCF, donations help provide financial support to local nonprofit organizations to meet the needs across the communities Union Power serves. For those looking to turn Thanksgiving gratitude into lasting impact, a gift to UPCF can help extend that spirit of giving well beyond the holiday. To make an impact, donate at upcf.org.
Throughout the year, there are several ways to give, but this Thanksgiving, let’s make a bigger impact by giving back to those in need.
