HELP this winter," Samper said.
Pacific shareholders will do­
nate $100,00 to Project HELP this
year, with $67,000 ear-marked for
Oregon customers.
Kay Stepp, President of PGE's
Energy Services Division, pre­
sented a $40,000 shareholders
check to The Salvation Army today
to kick-off the program in PG E’s
service area. The corporate dona­
tion will provide seed money to
PGE's 1988-89 Project HELP
fund.
"D uring the past seven years
PGE employees, custom ers and
shareholders have contributed
nearly $2 million to Project H ELP,”
Stepp said. “ The program has
helped thousands of needy fam i­
lies stay warm and will continue to
thrive with com m unity support.
Every dollar makes a difference.”
The Salvation Army will be the
sole administrator of Project HELP
funds for PGE.
Pacific Power
funds will be managed by The
Salvation Army in Portland and
twelve other locations. Various
social service groups will repre­
sent the com pany at other Oregon

donation and not add it to their
regular bill payment.
Project HELP funds are avail­
able to qualifying customers re­

That’s what many families would
have to resort to this winter just to
stay warm. If it wasn't for Project Help.
Year after year, your donations have
provided emergency fuel assistance for
thousands of people caught without
heat. Like the elderly. The handi­
capped. And the unemployed.
This winter, they need your contri­
bution once again. It's tax deductible
and simple to give. Just look for a
Project Help donation envelope in
your next electric bill.
Beginning in January, your gift,
plus $100,000 from Pacific Power and
PGE shareholders, will be disbursed by
the Salvation Army to buy oil. wood,
gas or electricity for needy families in
your community.
So. please give as you're able. With
your help, this ad can generate heat.
Without going up in smoke.

The clothing is available through

clothing drive which began October 10
and runs through December 23.
Last year’s drive provided clothing
for 550 children of 150 families, a 50
percent increase over the first year,

During the Children Helping Chil­
dren campaign, children dropped out­
grown or unneeded clothing into bar­
rels at the 11 child care centers oper­
ated by Children's World Learning
Centers, or at KGW Television. The
clothing was then collected by LIFE
Center volunteers who sorted and
sized it for Saturday’s give-away.
Donations of clean, wearable
clothing, especially for school-age
children, are still needed Donors may
call 626-0541 for the nearest drop-off
location, or 284-6878 for information
about available clothing.

ible in the amount of the value of the
