They are no help

I contacted this organization to get help with my electric bill. I have a shut off notice & made a payment & was able to get an extension on the shut off. I explained what I needed (only $100) & when I needed it by. I was assured I would get a return call within two days. I never got a call back, even after calling them 2 more times. I had to go to another agency & wasted over a week waiting on their call back that NEVER came.

Don't bother calling for help. They put you on a waiting list and you'll never hear from them again. Staff is rude. So much for charity....
