Pacific Power Matches Donations to Help Yakima Stay Warm

Pacific Power is stepping up to support local communities this winter by launching a matching donation initiative to help neighbors stay warm. The company announced that for every dollar contributed to Project HELP, it will match with an additional $2.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP TODAY

Customers receiving their Pacific Power bills by mail will find a Project HELP contribution envelope included in their November statements. For those who prefer to pay bills electronically, donations can still be made by sending a check or enrolling in a fixed donation program. The program allows customers to automatically donate any amount starting at $1 per month, which will be included in their monthly bills. And, like one-time contributions, fixed donations are also eligible for the 2-for-1 Pacific Power matching offer.

CALL OR VISIT THE WEBSITE OR JUST USE YOUR ENVELOPE

To enroll in the fixed donation program, customers can call Pacific Power at 1-888-221-7070 or visit their website at pacificpower.net.
All donations are potentially tax-deductible and will be forwarded to Project HELP, which operates in the Walla Walla, Yakima, and Grandview areas through The Salvation Army, as well as in Toppenish and Sunnyside via the Northwest Community Action Center. These organizations will verify eligibility and allocate funds to families within the same county as the donors.

IF YOU NEED HELP WITH YOUR POWER BILL CALL PP

Pacific Power also encourages customers struggling to pay their bills to reach out for assistance. The company's representatives are available at 1-888-221-7070 to discuss payment plans and connect them with additional resources that can provide support during cold fall and winter months. A press release says with winter approaching, Pacific Power’s initiative aims to make a "meaningful difference in the lives of those in need, ensuring that families can access the energy assistance required to stay warm."
