City of Green River

The G.R.E.E.N. Program

August 07th, 2008

Established to assist Green River residents experiencing difficulties in paying their City utility bills, the G.R.E.E.N. Program is a cooperative effort between the City of Green River, the Food Bank of Sweetwater County, and the citizens of Green River who share our concern in helping their neighbors. In June of 1990, the G.R.E.E.N. Program began with a start-up donation of $2,000 from the City of Green River Governing Body. The Food Bank of Sweetwater County is currently providing necessary screening for the program, to determine those applicants meeting eligibility requirements. Green River citizens can make contributions of their own by adding a donation to their monthly utility payment. The City maintains financial accountability for the program by utilizing a separate Fund in our accounting system to track all donations and disbursements related to the program. Contributions are tax deductible and every penny of every dollar donated goes directly to helping Green River families in need. G.R.E.E.N. Donations We thank the City of Green River residents who have donated and we invite the residents to continue working together to help their neighbors by voluntarily contributing to this beneficial program. Donations can be made by adding to the total amount owing on City utility bills. A check-off space is placed on the utility payment stub allowing you to designate a donation of $1, $5, $10 or other amounts. If you would like to send additional donations, please mail your contribution to: G.R.E.E.N. City of Green River 50 East 2nd North Green River, WY 82935 Eligibility Requirement In addition to CSBG income guidelines, qualifying applicants must also meet one of the following four situational criteria: Unemployment for 30 days or more Mental or physical disability Over 60 years of age Serious worsening of a medical condition, if the utility were discontinued. To apply for assistance, you must have received a "Notice of Delinquency" from the City. To avoid water disconnection, contact the Utility Department at 872-6126 to inform them that you intend to apply for Utility Assistance. Customers are referred to the Food Bank of Sweetwater County at 382-5919 to file an application for assistance. Marilyn Koompin from the Food Bank of Sweetwater County will screen all applicants to determine eligibility, using current CSBG income guidelines, as well as G.R.E.E.N. program guidelines.
