PG&E Reach Program – United Way of Central Eastern California

Relief for Energy Assistance through Community Help (REACH)

For over 30 years, the REACH program has helped low-income families keep their utilities services turned on in times of hardship.

The REACH program helps you pay for energy during a crisis. REACH provides an energy credit for up to $1,000 based on the past due bill (energy credit support is subject to funding availability). Over 170 Nonprofit organizations run the REACH program Northern and Central California.

Please note: REACH is available only once within a 12-month period and customers must qualify for the program.
