Join us for the inaugural Race for Warmth to support Operations Warm Heart, a Clark Public Utilities customer-funded program to help limited-income families in crisis situations who need help paying their electric bills.

Since its creation in 1985, Operation Warm Heart has provided nearly $2.4 million to about 11,000 customers who are barely making ends meet, but they don't qualify for other government programs that could help them pay their winter bills. As other sources of aid continue to be cut, more of our customers rely on Operation Warm Heart for assistance. For more than 20 years, Clark Public Utilities customers and employees have generously funded Operation Warm Heart. Those customer contributions provide a perpetual source of funding to help low-income families in crisis.

Your participation in this event you will help raise awareness of Operations Warm Heart and funds raised will go to help our less fortunate neighbors warm their homes.

Packet pick up will be available in the Community Room at Clark Public Utilities on Friday, February 6 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, February 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
