to the public since March due to COVID-19, these facilities have
now reopened with limited operating hours.

advance online at wakeforestnc.recdesk.com/Community/Home.
No walk-ins will be allowed.
THE H.O.P.E. PROGRAM
Nearly 2,000 Wake Forest Power residential utility accounts are
overdue each month. While late payments are a chronic problem
for a few customers, most overdue accounts belong to residents in
need of one-time assistance. Although most bills get paid eventually,
signifi cant delays and service disconnections oft en occur, resulting
in the loss of time and resources for the Town.

Th e H.O.P.E. program is administered through a partnership between
the Town of Wake Forest and ChurchNet, a local non-profi t
organization assisting people in need. Th e Town accepts both onetime
and regular donations from residential and commercial utility
customers and directs all the proceeds to ChurchNet. ChurchNet
determines who qualifi es for assistance and how much help they
receive. Th en, 100% of the donated funds are used to pay Town
utility bills. To see if you are eligible for assistance, contact Church-
Net at 919-569-0020. For more information and ways to give, visit
wakeforestnc.gov and search “HOPE.”
