A partnership between Grant PUD and the Columbia Basin Foundation results in eight area food banks receiving a total of $11,000. The Pay-It-Forward grant program is supported by donations from grant PUD’s industrial customers who deferred conservation rebate payments to support community-benefit programs administered by the Columbia Basin Foundation. Food banks in Coulee City, Grand Coulee, Ephrata, Mattawa, Moses Lake/Warden, Quincy, Royal City, and Soap Lake received donations.
