Snug as a bug in a rug with a little heat from the PUD’s Roundup program.
Northern Wasco County PUD just made it easier to help your neighbor.
Our local power provider has created a Roundup program that easily lets you donate a few cents at a time to folks needing help with their power bill.
For example, if your total bill is $55.35, the utility would round up your bill to $56.00, with the extra $.65 cents being deposited into the Neighbor to Neighbor fund.
So why would you do that?
Because our neighbors could use a little financial help from time to time, especially during the winter when heating bills run higher.
This is not a welfare program.
It is for emergency situations and disbursed on a case-by-case basis - one donation per eligible household up to $125 in 12 months.
Eligibility is established according to federally defined poverty levels and verification of eligibility is determined by our local Mid-Columbia Community Action Council / Community Action Partnership (CAP) office at 312 E 4th St. in The Dalles.
