LANCASTER – The city of Lancaster has launched the Grocery Workers Appreciation Program<\/strong> in recognition of Lancaster\u2019s frontline grocery workers serving the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, eligible grocery workers who are customers of Lancaster Choice Energy (LCE) will receive a one-time credit of up to $50 on their LCE charges.<\/p>\n \u201cUndoubtedly, when they selected this career, most grocery workers never anticipated finding themselves on the front lines of a global pandemic,” said Mayor R. Rex Parris. “With the Grocery Workers Appreciation Program, we aim to provide a small token of our appreciation for the grocery store employees who diligently provide our community\u2019s essential needs throughout the ongoing public health crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n The first 1,000 qualifying grocery workers will be awarded the reimbursement. Application submissions are now being accepted at https:\/\/www.lancasterchoiceenergy.com\/grocery-workers-appreciation-program\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Eligible applicants must be in good standing with LCE and provide current proof of employment at a qualifying grocery store. By definition, grocery stores include traditional supermarkets (Albertson\u2019s, Food 4 Less, etc.), superstores carrying fresh or preserved food (Target, Walmart, Costco, etc.), and locally-owned specialty grocery stores such as Ben\u2019s Butcher Block and The Whole Wheatery.<\/p>\n Applicants will be notified of approval within five business days and receive a credit on their next bill. The credit, which is limited to one per household, cannot exceed the amount of the LCE charges on the current monthly bill.<\/p>\n
