Neighbor to Neighbor Program

Our Neighbor to Neighbor program meets local needs by providing funds to assist low income families in Pitt County with their heating bills.  It's a voluntary program, supported through Ayden Utilities customers' tax-deductible contributions.  Ayden matches all contrubitions, up to $4,000 per year.  The Neighbor to Neighbor program is a partnership between Ayden and Pitt County Department of Social Services (DSS).  DSS screens applicants, determines egilibility and distributes the funds (up to $200/year per eligible household) during the heating season, December - March.  Funds are used to pay for all types of heating fuels (kerosene, oil, natural gas, electric heat, etc).  Sign up is easy and convenient.  Contrubutions can be as little as $1 a month.  100% of your contrubution is used to assist families.  The amount of your contrubution can be added to your monthly utility bill and you can start and stop at any time.  You can also make a lump sum donation by check or cash.  For more information, please call our business office at 252-481-5823.
