Annually the Neighbor to Neighbor program gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to help Texans keep their lights on. In addition to caring for customers, Direct Energy is committed to supporting the Houston community through its partnership with Texas Children’s Hospital. Over the past five years, Direct Energy has donated $5 million to support a new heart center, where Direct Energy employees regularly volunteer at the hospital.
