Need a Little Extra Help? Food and Utility Bill Assistance Available

The City of Lacey aims to alleviate hardships for residents impacted by potential federal government shutdowns through various assistance programs. The Lacey Utility Discount Program provides a 50% reduction on water bills for low-income residents, including those with disabilities or aged over 62. Furthermore, the Lacey Utility Assistance Fund offers eligible families up to $75 twice a year, contingent upon available funds. The Lacey Food Pantry and Farm Stand, in collaboration with the Thurston County Food Bank, also provides essential food assistance to community members. These programs are crucial for those facing financial difficulties, especially individuals with limited incomes.

Residents are invited to support these initiatives by donating when they pay their utility bills. Assistance inquiries can be directed to the Utility Billing Department at 360-491-5616. Such community efforts are vital in ensuring that essential needs are met during challenging times.
