YAKIMA, Wash. — Pacific Power is making it easy to make a difference in Washington communities by helping struggling neighbors stay warm. For every dollar you donate, Pacific Power will match your donation with $2 more to Project HELP or the Northwest Community Action Center, depending on where you reside.
Pacific Power customers who receive their bills by mail will find they include a contribution envelope in March. Customers who pay their bills electronically can send a check or enroll in the fixed donation program calling Pacific Power at 1-888-221-7070 or visiting PacificPower.net/Donate.
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.
Donations may be tax-deductible and will be forwarded directly to the organization serving the local community, who verifies eligibility and allocates funds to those in need: Project HELP (which is administered by the Salvation Army) in the Walla Walla, Yakima and Grandview areas, and Northwest Community Action Center in the Toppenish and Sunnyside areas. All funds donated are used to assist families 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 connect them with payment plans that work for their individual needs, while directing them to agencies that may be able to help with bills.
