Worthington, MN – The generosity of Nobles Cooperative Electric member-owners continues to have an amazing effect on local communities. Even more astounding is the fact that tiny donations, an average of only 50 cents a month, are making these huge impacts. That’s over $354,000 since the program began!
Member-owners who participate in Operation Round Up allow the cooperative to round up their monthly electric bill to the next dollar. This small change is pooled into large amounts that a volunteer trust board oversees. Every penny goes to those in need.
Here is the latest round of donations:
• Good Shepherd Lutheran Quilters, $400 – The funds will be used to purchase sheets (flat) to use as backing for quilts. This request would purchase around 40 sheets.
$400
• Lake Sarah Quilters, $400 – To help in the purchase of materials to make quilts for individuals in need of comfort.
• Our Lady of Good Council Quilting, $400-Money will be used for the purchase of a sewing machine, boards for quilt frames, yarn, needles, threads, quilt tacks and broken clamp replacements.
