South suburban resource fair is first of
several community events ComEd will attend this year as an
extension of its 2023 award-winning outreach program
To help individuals and families gain access to critical support
services, including utility bill assistance, ComEd today joined a
community resource fair organized by the Village of University
Park, the Will County Department of Health, Crete-Monee School
District 201U and other community organizations to bring
much-needed services directly to those who need it most.
ComEd’s appearance at the Community Health, Education, Jobs
& Trades Resource Fair marks the first in a series of community
events ComEd will attend in 2024. It builds on last year’s impact
from ComEd’s award-winning Powering Lives Resource Fairs, that
similarly brought community and business organizations together to
connect thousands of low-income customers to bill-assistance,
energy-management programs, health screenings, job training
opportunities and other support options.
“ComEd is proud to work with local organizations across the
village of University Park to help bring resources directly to
families and individuals,” said Melissa Washington,
ComEd's Chief Customer Officer and Senior Vice President of
Customer Operations. “Through this work, we’re better able to
identify community-specific needs and create solutions that can
have the greatest positive impact, whether they be bill assistance,
training programs or simply tools to manage future energy
bills.”
More than two dozen businesses and community organizations were
on hand at the resource fair, held at the village’s Town
Center.
"We are committed to providing our residents with the tools and
resources they need to thrive, and I am grateful to ComEd for
partnering with us to ensure our community has access to energy
efficiency information and bill payment options,” said
University Park Mayor Joseph Roudez III.
“Together, we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for
University Park and beyond."
ComEd’s participation in community resource fairs is the latest
in an ongoing effort to expand the range of support options
available to customers, particularly income-eligible families and
individuals. Efforts include bill-assistance options,
energy-management programs tailored for income-eligible customers,
electric vehicle charger and installation rebates reserved for
equity-eligible communities, and ComEd’s recent proposal to
establish a new Low-Income Discount program to assist more
customers with financial insecurity.
