The Helping Hands program of the Kennewick Irrigation District has spent $19,206 to pay the annual irrigation assessments of customers in need so far in 2015.

The amount is $2,000 more than was paid out on 2014. Money for the program, which is a partnership with Community Action Connection, comes from a portion of the revenue from delinquency fees and also donations made by KID customers.
