In May 2009, AEP Ohio and Dollar Energy Fund, a non-profit hardship fund, teamed up to offer help through the Neighbor to Neighbor Program to low-income families in Ohio with disconnected electric service. In the first 20 months of service, the Neighbor to Neighbor Program has provided more than $4 million in utility assistance grants to nearly 17,000 low-to-middle income AEP Ohio customers. Through the Neighbor to Neighbor Program, eligible households can receive a grant applied directly to their AEP Ohio bill.

Since 1983, Dollar Energy Fund has worked to help low-income families and seniors on fixed incomes afford safe utility supplies. In 2009 the organization partnered with AEP Ohio and expanded the program to Ohio through the Neihbor to Neighbor Energy Assistance program. Nearly two years later, more than $4.3 million has been distributed to Ohioans in need of assistance.
