Project CARE is a nonprofit program established by Fort Pierce Utilities which provides emergency assistance to those in our community who have experienced a recent personal or family crisis that has placed them in danger of losing their utility service.

It is not the program's intent to pay chronic or long term debt, rather it is to assist those who are experiencing temporary financial hardship.

Project CARE is funded by individuals in our community .either by utility customers who donate through their monthly utility bills or those who make onetime donations. These voluntary, tax-deductible donations go to assist local families in payment of their electric, water, sewer, natural gas, and garbage bills.
