There Are 3 Ways for PenLight Members To Contribute

• A one-time gift
• A recurring monthly donation
• By rounding up each monthly bill to the nearest whole dollar

Project Round-Up

The round-up campaign is the newest way members can contribute. On average, those who enroll will only add about $6 to their annual bill. Those donations can go a long way to help neighbors who sometimes have to choose between food and heat.

Since last year, more than 1,400 people have signed up to donate funds, bringing the total number of supporters to about 1,750. Our goal is to encourage 10,000 of our members — one-third of our service area — to sign up for the Project Help Round-Up campaign.

You can help by calling our Member Services Department at (253) 857-5950.
