Fifty women, all members of Women’s International Network of Utility Professionals (WINUP), met April 12 to discuss programs that raise money to help customers in need pay their utility bills.

Programs such as PSO’s “Light a Life,” ONG’s “Share the Warmth” and OGE’s “Lend a Hand” raise thousands of dollars each year for the Salvation Army to extend a helping hand to customers in need across Oklahoma.
“By nature, women are caring individuals and we’re proud of how our customers use their discretionary income to help pay the utility bills for those in need,” WINUP Program Chair Andrea Chancellor says. “Our intent at this meeting is to learn as much as we can as individual utilities about our common programs that help Oklahomans.”
