You Can Give Someone Electricity for Christmas
Sometimes practical presents make the best Christmas gifts. Sure, scarves and perfume are nice, but they aren’t what everyone wants. Over time, presents like this often end up buried in a drawer somewhere— or worse yet, a landfill.
That’s why you should give the gift of electricity this Christmas. In Missouri, generous folks can surprise someone with a Gift of Energy, as Ameren calls it. Ameren is a well-known company that provides energy services throughout Missouri and Illinois.
Gift of Energy donations can be for any amount, big or small. Ameren hasn’t established any monetary guidelines for donations as of November 2021, and you can donate energy services to an individual or business. It’s okay to donate anonymously if you prefer.
An energy gift would be a major blessing for many families
As a single mom, I appreciate anything people give me for the holidays. Nobody is obligated to get me a gift for Christmas, my birthday, or any other special occasion. However, I’d probably cry if someone paid my electric bill. I’d also be in tears if someone sent my landlord a check, paid my car note, or covered my invoice for water service.
