Some of your neighbors will be cold this winter.

You can do something about it.

Why Give to HeatShare?

When you give to HeatShare, you are helping warm the lives of the elderly, disabled and others who have nowhere else to turn. HeatShare is a last resort for many who have no other resources available to safely get them and their families through the winter.

Administered by the Salvation Army, HeatShare is a voluntary program that helps the needy survive our long, Minnesota winters by providing funds for heating bills and heating-related repairs.

Who Benefits from HeatShare?

• Senior citizens 55 years of age or older with low, fixed incomes and no alternate source of help.
• Those disabled by physical limitations and/or health problems, restricting their ability to maintain income to cover enery bills adequately.
• Those who have had an unexpected emergency within the last 12 months and as a result of the emergency cannot pay energy costs.
• Those who meet income guidelines and have received or applied for all other possible public funds.

Who Supports HeatShare?

Hundreds in your community help with HeatShare. Your neighbors, your friends, people in big cities and corporations, and people in small towns and self-owned businesses.

And you can help give the gift of heat, too, by sending a tax deductible contribution to Moorhead Public Service using the downloadable form available here (Please make checks payable to HeatShare), or donating online by at https://centralusa.salvationarmy.org/northern/heatshare-program/.

Sign up for our Automatic Payment Plan and have your bill automatically
paid from your checking or savings account on your due date each month!

Remove the stress of misplaced or late utility bill payments with Moorhead Public Service's "AutoPay" program. No more writing checks, rummaging for stamps, or rushing to get your payment in on time!

How does it work?

You'll receive your Moorhead Public Service (MPS) bill as usual, but your bank will automatically deduct the bill from your account approximately 20 days after the billing date shown on your bill. You'll know that your AutoPay account is active once you see the word "AUTOPAY" listed above the amount due. Underneath the amount due for each month, you'll find the date that the amount will be deducted from your bank account. It's that simple!

Signing up is easy, too!

Just fill out the Authorization for Automatic Payments form and return it to MPS. If your payment will be deducted from a checking account, staple a blank check with "VOID" written across it on your authorization form. If you'd like your payment deducted from a savings account, staple a deposit slip with your account number on it to your authorization form. Just remember to keep paying your bill until your bill reflects that your AutoPay account has been activated.

Once your paperwork's done, you won't have to lift a finger to pay your MPS bill, AutoPay will do it for you!
