Help brighten the holidays for those in need

This holiday season, shopping on SMUDEnergyStore.com will do even more than save you energy and money. For every item purchased from Nov. 1 – Dec. 31, we’ll donate $10 to SMUD’s EnergyHELP program, which helps customers in need pay their electric bill and access essential services such as food, clothing, job training and childcare. Plus, for each energy-saving advanced power strip sold, we’ll donate one to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento.  Shop SMUD Energy Store
