The Pacific Power Foundation has awarded Assistance League of Bend a generous grant to assist families facing hardship in Deschutes County. Specifically, this grant will support Operation School Bell which provides new clothes to students in kindergarten through grade 12 who are living in poverty. Assistance League of Bend is immensely grateful for the Pacific Power Foundation donation and for their commitment to strengthening the vitality of the communities they serve.

The Pacific Power Foundation is part of the PacifiCorp Foundation, one of the largest utility-endowed foundations in the United States.  The foundation was created in 1988 by PacifiCorp, an electric utility serving 1.8 million customers in six western states as Pacific Power (Oregon, Washington and California) and Rocky Mountain Power (Utah, Wyoming and Idaho).  The foundation’s mission, through charitable investments, is to support the growth and vitality of the communities served by Pacific Power and Rocky Mountain Power.  For more information visit www.pacificpower.net/foundation.
