Empower others
Staying on top of utility bills can put a significant burden on low-income individuals and families. Your donation to HEERO (Help with Emergency Energy Relief Operation) can ease the cost of energy bills for people who might need a little extra help.
“As a single mom of four, I’ve always worked hard to provide for my family. When an unexpected car repair left me facing a utility shutoff, HEERO stepped in just in time. The support gave me the breathing room I needed to get back on track and kept my kids safe and cool during the summer heat. I’m so grateful.” — Yadrina, HEERO recipient
“HEERO is a vital safety net in Tucson. It’s not just about paying a bill. It’s about protecting dignity, health and stability. Thanks to HEERO, we can keep homes safe and support our most vulnerable neighbors. It truly strengthens our entire community.” — Nicole Cruz, Salvation Army
How do I become a HEERO?
Once you're signed up, you can round up your electric bill to the next dollar or pledge a dollar amount you'd like to contribute each month. TEP will distribute your donation to the Salvation Army, which uses the money to provide assistance to people identified by the Emergency Services Network, a group of human service agencies that serve Tucson's low-income population.
No contributions are used to administer the program. You can cancel at any time.
