Our community has been hit hard by rising energy costs, and no one should have to choose between heating their home and putting food on the table.
Start with the resources below, and if you need more support, we’re here.
Delmarva Power Customer Relief Fund

At Neighborhood House, we know that a utility bill is rarely just a utility bill. It’s one more pressure on top of groceries, childcare, rent, and everything else you’re managing right now. That’s why we’re here — not just to share resources, but to walk alongside you when things get hard.
If you or someone you know needs help, don’t wait. Reach out to us directly, visit one of our locations, or share this post with someone who could use it. No one in our community should face these kinds of challenges alone.
