Pacific Power release – COOS BAY, Ore. — The Pacific Power Foundation is announcing $203,500 in new funding to directly support community organizations across the three states it serves. Like Pacific Power, these organizations are deeply invested in their communities and intent on making them more vibrant and resilient. Throughout the region, local organizations deliver countless services and programs that increase access to healthy food, safe and stable housing, healthcare and mental health support, disaster relief and public safety programs. Every day, these neighbors who support and show up for each other are making our communities safer and stronger. “We’re proud to build on the strength of our communities, and to help energize and expand the heroic work of local organizations,” said Sam Carter, Pacific Power regional business manager. “They are enriching our communities and improving the lives of our most vulnerable children, families and seniors.” On the southern Oregon Coast, the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation provided a $5,000 grant to Pelican Harbor. The funding will help with weekly transport of donated food and dry goods to the food bank from an upstate location. These safety and wellness grants are made through one of four grant cycles offered by Pacific Power’s nonprofit arm each year.
