Help your neighbors keep their lights on:
You can help your Southern Maryland neighbors who are struggling to pay their electric bills when you contribute to Members Helping Members. Simply sign up to add $1, $5, or $10 to your electric bill each month.
Donations will go to Southern Maryland Tri-County Community Action Committee, which will give the money to customer-members who seek aid and meet the qualifications.
Giving can be rewarding:
As a thank-you to our neighbors who lend a hand, new program participants will receive rewards from SMECO. Depending on your level of giving, you will receive a safety vest, a retractable LED lantern, or a solar-powered address sign. Incentive items will be mailed to you after we receive your enrollment.
