United Community Bank Ice on Main to host Piedmont Natural Gas Share the Warmth event December 6

United Community Bank Ice on Main will host an event on the ice this Sunday, December 6 to help families keep their homes warm this winter. Piedmont Natural Gas is sponsoring a “Share the Warmth” event at Greenville’s outdoor skating rink as part of its Round Up program, which donates funds to help local families in need pay their heating bills. The Piedmont Natural Gas Share the Warmth Program can be used to pay energy bills regardless of the energy source used in the home – including natural gas, propane, oil and electricity – and funds are distributed to residents through approved partner agencies.

Piedmont Natural Gas representatives will be on site during the event to help customers sign up for the Share the Warmth Round Up program. When a customer enrolls in the program, Piedmont Natural Gas will round up their monthly natural gas bill to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to an approved Share the Warmthagency in the customer’s local community. To sign up, Piedmont Natural Gas customers can complete the enrollment form on the back of their monthly bill and return it with the bill remittance, complete an online form at www.piedmontng.com or call (800) 752-7504. Watch a video to learn more about the Share the Warmth Round Up program.

On Sunday, skaters can bring a donation of coats, gloves, hats or scarves to United Community Bank Ice on Main from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and skate for just $5. Orange scarves will also be available for purchase at the rink throughout the season, and proceeds from all sales will go toward the Round Up program.
