Pacific Power Launches Winter Donation Match Initiative

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.

YOU CAN HELP IN TWO WAYS

According to a press release from Pacific Power Project HELP is a nonprofit program designed to provide energy assistance to those in need through donated funds. 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.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STICK WITH A DOLLAR YOU CAN DONATE MORE

This 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.

Yakima County, CAnva

YOU CAN CALL TO GET INVOLVED

To enroll in the fixed donation program, customers can call Pacific Power at 1-888-221-7070 or visit their website at pacificpower.net.

YOUR DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE

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.
