Project Deserve
“Giving your neighbor a helping hand…”
Project Deserve allows you to help the elderly, handicapped, low-income, and unemployed with their electric bills in emergency situations. You can do this by pledging a specified amount of money to be added to your monthly bill.
All funds collected through Project Deserve go directly to an energy fund. No funds will be used to administer the program. Eligibility will be determined and verified solely by Human Resource Agencies and/or community relief groups in all or portions of VEC’s 17-county service area which includes: Bledsoe, Bradley, Cumberland, Fentress, Hamilton, Loudon, McMinn, Meigs, Morgan, Overton, Pickett, Polk, Putnam, Rhea, Roane, Scott, and White counties.
No. Receipts will be evidenced by the canceled checks or receipts given to members in return for payment of their individual electric bills.
Yes. You may cancel your pledge at any time by calling your local VEC Customer Service Center.
