Triple your impact: Pacific Power will match your contribution to Project HELP 2-for-1

YAKIMA, Wash. — Pacific Power is making it simple to make a difference in communities by helping struggling neighbors stay warm this winter. For every dollar that you donate, Pacific Power will match your donation with $2 more to Project HELP.

Project HELP is a nonprofit program providing energy assistance with donated funds. Pacific Power customers who receive their bills by mail will find they include a Project HELP contribution envelope in November.

Customers who pay their bills electronically can send a check or enroll in the fixed donation program. This program allows customers to donate any dollar amount, starting at $1 per month, which is then incorporated into their monthly bill. Fixed donations will also be matched 2-for-1 by Pacific Power. To enroll in the fixed donation program, call Pacific Power toll-free at 1-888-221-7070 or Donate to Energy Assistance (pacificpower.net).

Donations may be tax-deductible and will be forwarded directly to Project HELP (which is administered by The Salvation Army) in the Walla Walla, Yakima and Grandview areas, and by Northwest Community Action Center in the Toppenish and Sunnyside areas. They verify eligibility and allocate funds to those in need. All funds donated are used to assist families in need in the same county in which the donor resides.

Customers who need bill assistance can speak with Pacific Power representatives at 1-888-221-7070 who can help with payment plans that work for their individual needs and direct them to agencies that may be able to help.
