WCLO's Beth Wheelock reports on contributions to Alliant Energy's Hometown Care Energy Fund.

Alliant Energy reports thousands of dollars in customer donations to its Hometown Care Energy Fund.

Spokesman Steve Schultz says although the donations are down from last year, Wisconsin Power & Light customers still made a significant contribution from January through November 2008. In total, Wisconsin customers have donated $32,000 to the fund. He says Rock County consumers have donated $3,600, added to about $79,500 from Alliant Energy donations.

Although there is a winter moratorium on power disconnection, Schultz says the fund helps customers who get behind in their bills.
