Operation Round-Up
SLEMCO provides grants to needy individuals requiring assistance with a wide
variety of needs. Funds for these grants are provided voluntarily by thousands
of SLEMCO customers who allow their monthly bills to be rounded up to the next
highest dollar. The average yearly contribution per household is about $6.
Prescription medications, artificial limbs, eyeglasses, medical care, wheelchairs,
ramps or other handicap renovations are examples of the grants awarded each
month. No utility bills are paid through this program. For more information
about Operation Round-Up contact SLEMCO’s Grants Administrator at 337-896-5384.
Lights On
The Lights On program was established for qualifying SLEMCO customers who have experienced a minor emergency and cannot pay their electric bill. Assistance can be requested once a year from the Lights On fund; the maximum amount of assistance is $100. SLEMCO customers make donations to this fund but funds are not always available. Applications for assistance are taken on Thursdays only at the Msgr. A.O. Sigur Service Center in Lafayette. The phone number is 337-233-7788.
