FPU and TVA distribute LED light bulbs to families in need | News | elkvalleytimes.com

FPU CEO/General Manager Britt Dye and Hands of Mercy Director Tina Hudson proudly display LED light bulbs that will be distributed to local families in need.

Fayetteville Public Utilities (FPU) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is joining with Hands of Mercy Outreach Center to distribute 1,296 packs of LED light bulbs to local families in need. The TVA Energy Right Residential Program and FPU are committed to assisting community members to make their homes more energy efficient and reduce energy burdens by offering pre-packaged LED bulbs for distribution through community organizations.

Hands of Mercy Outreach Center will distribute a free 4-pack of the LED bulbs to each family receiving food during Hands of Mercy’s monthly food distribution in October. On Oct. 25, as part of FPU’s annual Day of Service, the utility will assist Hands of Mercy with their Sleep in Heavenly Peace efforts by building 40 beds for local children in need. A free pack of bulbs will be given to each family receiving one of the beds assembled on that day.

“Part of our mission as a local utility company is to enhance the quality of life for our community and those we serve,” said FPU CEO/General Manager Britt Dye. “Replacing incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs is an easy, cost-effective way for customers to reduce energy costs, improve energy efficiency and get more value from the energy they use. We are grateful for the work Hands of Mercy does in our community and appreciate their willingness to participate in this program by distributing LED bulbs to households that need it across our service area.”
