RG&E Announces New Holiday eBill Incentive to Benefit Foodlink

Company to donate $1 for the first 2,500 new eBill

ROCHESTER, NY — November 22, 2021 — Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E) has announced the launch of a new customer promotion to last throughout the 2021 holiday season. For every customer who signs up for the company’s eBill service during the months of November and December, RG&E will donate $1, up to $2,500, to Foodlink.

“Rochester shares the same issues of food insecurity as many other areas in the state,” said Carl A. Taylor, president and CEO of NYSEG and RG&E. “At RG&E, we are committed to connecting with our community to help expand access to food in the communities we serve. By teaming up with our customers through this promotion, we can be a part of the solution in addressing hunger and lend a helping hand to those in need this holiday season.”

Established in 1978 to end hunger and build healthier communities, Foodlink distributes more than 20 million pounds of food each year. With an expansive service territory, the organization provides assistance in 10 counties in the Rochester area, including: Allegany, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates counties.

“With too many of our neighbors struggling to put food on the table this holiday season, we’re grateful for the continued generosity of RG&E, which has stepped up time and time again to support our mission and those in need,” said Julia Tedesco, president and CEO of Foodlink.

RG&E’s eBill service is a user-friendly, paperless online payment tool. When a customer signs up for eBill, they will receive their bill online and can schedule automatic payments or can make their own payments each month. Customers can also view up to 13 months of previous eBills online.
Customers who wish to enroll in eBill can do so here.
