Help Your Neighbor

Help Your Neighbor is a program sponsored by BTES to help customers who are less fortunate pay their winter electric bills.

We collect donations from our customers. The Salvation Army certifies the eligibility of the recipient, and the United Way of Bristol disburses the funds. The money goes directly toward helping less fortunate residential customers.

Please add $1, $2, $5, $10 or more each month to your electric bill or write a separate check to Help Your Neighbor and mail to BTES, P.O. Box 549, Bristol, TN 37621.

If you have signed up for automatic bank draft, it’s still easy to donate. Just tell us whether you want to contribute monthly or in one lump sum and how much you want to contribute. Click here.

The number of people who can be helped depends on how much the rest of us are willing to give. BTES will match up to $15,000 of customer contributions.
