due on 12/08/2015 Power point presentation - 10 slides plus reference and title -

Mayor, Council Members, Resident’s of the City of Clearwater and Customers of the City of Clearwater Utilities.

Please take a moment this holiday season to reflect upon how fortunate you are – and consider how some of our neighbors are not as fortunate.

A sudden illness, loss of job, or a recent personal or family crisis can cause financial setbacks – especially for folks just trying to make ends meet.

Each day our Utility Customer Service employees meet residents who have encountered hardships that make paying for basic utilities a challenge.

That’s where the City of Clearwater Utilities We Care Fund comes in. Each year since 1992, Clearwater Utilities and people like you have helped hundreds of our neighbors by contributing to the We Care Fund.

Contributions are administered by the local branch of the Salvation Army, to provide temporary assistance to eligible customers of City of Clearwater utilities.

Your continuing gift of just a dollar or two each month can mean so much to a neighbor just struggling to get by. Every single dollar donated will assist those in need and the funds will be applied directly to the customer’s bill.

To give a gift, fill out the form fill out the We Care insert enclosed with your December utility bill and return it with your payment. Inserts are also available at our office located at 100 South Myrtle Avenue in Clearwater or by calling Customer Service at 562-4600.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!
