Customers who participate in the program will find an automatic round-up of their bill to the next highest whole dollar amount. This calculation will be shown on the bill as “Hometown Help.” The funds collected in this method will be used as authorized by law to:

• Advance education
• Assist economic development
• Promote local charities
• Relief to disabled and elderly for payment of natural gas bills

The funds collected are disbursed under the guidance of the Board of Commissioners of the Middle Tennessee Natural Gas Utility District. The average customer contributes six dollars per year through this program. If all customers remain in the program, more than $300,000 could be raised annually for the benefit of your hometowns.

Participation is not mandatory. Customers may opt out at anytime. You may opt out online using the online "Opt Out Form".

This program has had a positive impact on the hometowns we serve. It has focused on our schools, those unable to afford continued natural gas service, the local charities in our area and improving the likelihood of recruiting and retaining good jobs for our hometowns. Please give “Project Hometown Help” your support.
