Family Building Blocks is thrilled to share that we were selected to receive Portland General Electric’s Renewable Development Fund award! With this award, we were able to install solar panels at our Family Building Blocks – Chelsea’s Place location, to help ensure families and children continue receiving access to our classrooms, food pantries, and clothing closets, providing a continued sense of safety and security for our families. This investment also bolsters Family Building Blocks’ commitment to environmentally friendly practices.

The Renewable Development Fund awards grants for clean energy projects in the community and is fully funded by PGE Green Future℠ customers, a group of more than 225,000 people choosing renewable energy. Since the program’s inception in 1999, PGE Green Future℠ customers have helped fund more than 16.6 Megawatts of new, local renewable energy generation.

Thank you, PGE and Green Future℠ customers, for supporting organizations like ours in the journey toward a cleaner, greener future!”
