Franklin PUD in partnership with HAPO Community Credit Union are kicking off a community effort to raise funds for Franklin PUD’s Helping Hands program on Monday, December 2nd from 12:00pm to 5:00pm at Franklin PUD’s Main Offices at 1411 W Clark St in Pasco, WA.

Franklin PUD’s Helping Hands program provides qualifying customers with emergency assistance to help pay their electric bill. “We are thankful for HAPO’s compassion for our community and partnering with us to raise funds for Helping Hands. We see an increase in families struggling to pay their electric bill during the winter months when temperatures drop and the use of electric heat increases to stay warm” says Holly Dohrman, Franklin PUD’s Assistant General Manager. “We want to do all we can to make sure we have a variety of programs and services available to our customers when they need it, and our Helping Hands program is a great example of that.”

Franklin PUD’s Helping Hands kick-off begins at 12:00 p.m. with a live radio remote on LaLey Radio 100.1FM, giveaways, and tacos.

HAPO Community Credit Union will present a $4,000.00 donation to Helping Hands at 1:00 p.m.

Please join Franklin PUD and HAPO Community Credit Union in this important community effort to raise funds for local families – a warm home is something we don’t want families living without this winter.
