This holiday season, Entergy put smiles on our customers’ faces with the return of Operation Secret Santa. At the Canal Street Customer Care Center, select customers were pleasantly surprised when Santa and Entergy leadership stepped in to cover their utility bills thanks to The Power to Care, part of Entergy’s program to assist low-income families and households .

Launched in 2014, Operation Secret Santa was inspired by the sight of customers braving the winter cold to pay their bills before the holidays. Since then, the initiative has distributed over $60,000 in utility grants so families can enjoy their holiday traditions without the stress of financial burdens.

“We love our customers and Operation Secret Santa captures the essence of the holiday spirit,” said Deanna Rodriguez, president and CEO of Entergy New Orleans. “Through The Power to Care, we can help customers pay their utility bills and provide convenience and joy to those who need it most.

Through the Power to Care program, Entergy partners with local nonprofits, dedicated employees and generous customers to provide emergency bill payment assistance to seniors and people with disabilities experiencing hardship. Since its inception in 2008, the program has raised over $50 million and helped more than 250,000 customers in need.

As the Christmas season approaches, we invite everyone to join us in extending a helping hand to our neighbors in need. Your support can play a critical role in ensuring those facing hardship can keep the lights on during this cold winter season.
