Share some warmth with a “HUG” this holiday season

December 7, 2010
Looking for a unique holiday gift that’s a great stocking stuffer for that special someone in your life? How about the ideal gift for a non-profit organization? Consider purchasing a Home Utility Gift Certificate, or “HUG,” at any one of our customer service walk-in centers.

Starting at just $25, HUGs allow you to purchase a credit that is subtracted from the recipient’s next monthly utility bill. You receive a gift certificate in return for the amount that will be credited to their account. Then, you can choose to present it to the recipient, or, feel free to remain anonymous if you prefer. Either way, the recipient does not have to take any action in order to make your good deed a reality.

We’ve offered these certificates since 2003, and customers have purchased them for a variety of people and non-profit organizations. For instance, some parents purchase a HUG to help out a college student who is living on his or her own for the first time. Others purchase HUGs for aging parents living on a fixed income. And many have purchased HUGs for non-profit organizations to help them offset monthly operating costs.

Whatever your reason for giving, HUGs can be the perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for loved one or a non-profit that is near-and-dear to your heart.

The certificates are available during normal business hours at all customer service walk-in centers (a complete list is below). All you need to provide is the address for the LG&E or KU recipient, so the proper account is credited.
