NHN Energy Assistance is a round-up program in which Singing River Electric members choose to round-up their bill each month to the nearest whole dollar. The rounded-up portion of the bill is used to assist those in the community who cannot pay their power bill. Donations range from 1¢ to 99¢ each month and average only $6 per year.

There are four ways to sign up:

1. Click here to complete the online donation form.
2. Check the NHN Energy Assistance box at the top of your bill.
3. Sign up using the SmartHub app on your mobile device.
4. Call any SRE office and request to participate.

Once enrolled, the billed amount will "round up" to the nearest whole dollar.

We all need a little help from our neighbors from time to time. This is a unique, secure way to help those in your community. All recipients are screened to ensure there is a verified need, and 100 percent of NHN Energy Assistance donations go to help SRE members.

One hundred percent of collected donations are distributed to SRE members through United Way for Jackson and George Counties and Catholic Charities of South Mississippi.

The goal of case management is to assist applicants and offer ways to help minimize the stress of a financial strain in the future. To meet this goal, each applicant is partnered with a case manager. Clients are asked to provide financial information to the agency and work with case managers to establish financial goals and objectives.

Members must show a need and a willingness to make changes in their life to change their current financial situation. Applications may be picked up at the Catholic Charities office, or call 1-855-847-0555 to learn if a member meets the qualification for the program.

Qualified SRE members can receive up to $125, one time per year through NHN Energy Assistance as long as funds are available.

No. Applicants are not asked their faith affiliation.
