Project Help provides emergency energy assistance with an emphasis on serving eligible applicants during the heating season. This means Project Help will provide electricity, natural gas, propane, heating oil, wood, or coal for families across KUB's service territory throughout the year.

Project Help depends solely on contributions from the community and fundraisers. KUB collects Project Help donations and sends 100% of the funds to the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC), which administers the program.

CAC administers Project Help assistance to eligible community members including those who are elderly, experiencing job loss, injury, or disability.
