The Food Bank of El Dorado County will be hosting its Annual Holiday Outreach Program on Thursday the 17th, Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th of December at The Food Bank’s distribution facility located at 4550 Business Drive in Cameron Park. To receive holiday assistance all recipients must be from low income households who are struggling to make ends meet. Due to the covid pandemic, Food Bank staff have worked with El Dorado County Environmental Health to establish a protocol for safe distribution approved by EDC Public Health Department and El Dorado County Environmental Management. 2020 Holiday Outreach will be a drive thru distribution. This year The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and Straight Line Construction will sponsor The Outreach. The Tribal Fire Department and the Tribal Police Department will partner with the Food Bank of El Dorado County to deliver to homebound residents. If you are homebound please email your request to info@foodbankedc.org
NO pre-registration is required. Eligible individuals simply need to arrive at the Food Bank at their scheduled day and time. Remember this distribution is drive thru with one way traffic, please follow directional map on flyer: https://foodbankedc.org/images/Foodbank-EDC-Holiday-Outreach-2020.pdf

PG&E Energy Saving Programs
California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE)
This program will give families up to a 35% discount on their energy/natural gas bill. Program eligibility is based on income OR the households participation in a qualifying assistance program. Income guidelines and qualifying programs are included in the attached document.
Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA)
For families that don't qualify for CARE, PG&E offers the FERA Program. FERA offers a monthly discount on their eclectic/natural gas bill for households of three or more. Income guidelines are included in the attached document.
HEAP is Here to Help! As many of you know, PG&E has issued a moratorium on PG&E shut off notices and many of our families that have been hit hard financially will be impacted when the moratorium lifts in April 2021. PG&E expects many families will have utility bills they are unable to afford, leading to mass utility shut offs. The EDC Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is here to help families sign up for both the CARE and FERA program, as well as educate them on other important energy savings programs available. If you have families that can benefit from CARE or FERA, please have them call the HEAP Program at 530-621-6150 for program details and enrollment eligibility.
