Washington Gorge Action Programs hopes to raise $125,000 this holiday season to help cover budget gaps.  Various programs have been weathering funding freezes throughout the federal government shutdown and budget negotiations.  WAGAP Executive Director Jennifer Pauletto says the local result is that some programs are paused during these periods, meaning families in need do not receive dollars to help pay for heating as the fall weather grows colder.  Donations can be accepted in person at local WAGAP offices, Monday through Thursday, during regular business hours, at its office in Bingen, Stevenson, and Goldendale.  Donors can also use the online system through WAGAP’s website at wagap.org and schedule a one-time donation or setting up an ongoing monthly donation.
