Lyle tells WBRC they are trying to do what they can with what they’ve got to help as many people as possible pay their utility bills, especially during the hot summer months. Lyle says that’s why it’s important to donate so they can continue helping others when times are tough. “I know when I go to the grocery store, I’m paying much more than I used to but my income hasn’t increased, and so we have those needs. So folks where they would normally be able to stay atop of their expenses, they’re not able to now. So again, this is the season. It will pass, but we’re thankful for the community that allows us to do this,” Lyle said.box on your Alabama Power bill.
