ComEd unveiled the first of its new Mobile Assistance Unit activations during Waukegan Township’s Corner of Hope & Opportunity Community Resource Fair & Block Party on Saturday. The appearance marked the debut of a fleet of vehicles equipped to deliver bill-assistance services anywhere across ComEd’s northern Illinois service territory. Waukegan Township’s Resource Fair and Block Party, held annually since 2024, brings together health services, child and adult programs, job-training opportunities and other community resources in one place. ComEd has taken part in community resource fairs since 2025 in collaboration with local organizations to help meet customers where they are with support. The Mobile Assistance Units are part of ComEd’s fleet of storm-response vehicles, repurposed to support customers with bill assistance during periods when they are not actively deployed for power restoration. Customers can find more information about ComEd’s bill-assistance options and check their eligibility through ComEd’s Smart Assistance Manager (SAM) at ComEd.com/SAM.
