REACH (Relief for Energy Assistance through Community Help)

For more than 25 years, The REACH Program has provided emergency energy assistance to low-income families within the PG&E service territory who are in jeopardy of losing their electricity services, particularly the elderly, disabled, sick, working poor and the unemployed.
REACH is a one-time energy-assistance program sponsored by PG&E and administered through the Salvation Army from 170 offices in northern and central California. Those who have experienced an uncontrollable or unforeseen hardship may receive an energy grant up to $300. Generally, recipients can receive REACH assistance only once within an 18-month period, but exceptions can be made for seniors, the physically challenged and the terminally ill.
