Project Pal

Many co-op members struggle to make ends meet on the islands, even when times are good. For this reason, and especially to help in times of difficulty, Project Pal was created as a way for Co-op members to help each other to pay their electric bills during the heating season (November – April).

Pal is funded by voluntary donations: members helping members. It’s easy to apply for a grant online or at your island Family/Community Resource Center. Eligible households can get one PAL grant each year to help when bills are at their highest.
