Ten area organizations received awards earlier this month from the 4-County Electric Power Association Foundation.
Over $43,000 was distributed at the foundation’s April 1 meeting at 4-County’s Corporate Center in Columbus.
Since the foundation’s inception in February 2015, over $900,000 has been dispersed to organizations in 4-County’s service area.
Those receiving foundation awards April 1 included East Webster Baseball. The program received $3,300 toward the purchase of a new pitching machine.
Additionally, Community Counseling Services, which serves Webster County in part, received $750 for training materials for parents of children with autism.
Four-County believes in helping the communities it serves. That’s why the cooperative launched the 4-County Foundation, a community service program.
Since February 2015, participating 4-County members’ utility bills have been rounded up to the nearest dollar; a $125.78 bill, for example, becomes $126.
Now, that’s an average of only 49 cents per member, per month. That may not seem like much. But when you multiply those contributions by the thousands of member participants, that’s a lot of pennies!
