JEA recognized three employees of local nonprofit agencies and city services who have gone above and beyond to serve others during the past year. JEA celebrated the honorees at its annual ‘Light It Forward’ ceremony and recognition breakfast.
The awards spotlight community advocates who have assisted JEA customers with utility bill assistance, housing and relocation services, food supplies, employment opportunities, job training, health care resources and financial counseling.
“The honorees have provided hope and reassurance to those who need it most, said Karen McAlister. This past year, JEA customers received more than $3 million from local agencies that process local and federal utility bill assistance. In addition, many customers received assistance from the federal CARES Act in the form of the Homeowner’s Assistance Fund and the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Fund. In all, financial assistance provided to JEA customers totaled nearly $13 million.
