LOVE DON’T COST A THING

Well...it’s actually just a few cents per month. This Valentine’s month and beyond, show some love to your neighbors in need by making easy, automatic donations through your utility bill. With the Utility Bill Round-Up, we’ll round up your bill to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to help St. Pete families through a network of local social service agencies. You can also sign up to make one-time or recurring donations for any amount.

Sign up to donate at stpete.org/utilityassistance.
