Good Neighbor Program

Each month, many MID customers seek emergency assistance to help pay their electric bills. With MID's Good Neighbor Program, you can lend a helping hand and donate money to a designated fund for MID customers that seek assistance. MID works with the Salvation Army to ensure that 100% of the donations go only to those MID customers who are experiencing hardships. If you would like to make a one-time or monthly donation to the Good Neighbor Program, please complete the application and return to the application to MID.

Good Neighbor Program Application

If you are interested in receiving funds from the Good Neighbor Program, please contact the Salvation Army at (209) 523-7577.
