KREMC President and CEO Bruce Goslee presented a check for $5,000 to Combined Community Services Executive Director Steve Possell.
“We truly believe in partnering with CCS through this program,” said Goslee, “We know there is a need for our members and that these funds will be used to help as many as possible when they need it the most.”
Over the past few years the fund has assisted more than 300 members. As noted on the CCS website, “Financial assistance is offered to those in greatest immediate crisis. In most situations, a disconnect notice or warning is required before assistance can be provided. Guidelines for financial assistance are up to 205 percent of poverty guidelines or hardship determination, which covers a vast array of crisis situations, from loss of job to an automobile accident that renders people unable to make their usual payments.”
“This program is only one of the many ways KREMC gives back to the community,” stated Goslee. “As a company we hold an annual weatherization workshop that gives members tips and suggestions on how to become more energy efficient. Also employees are currently donating food to a local organization that provides families a Thanksgiving meal, and starting in December employees will start collecting for the Salvation Army Angel Tree program.”
Kosciusko REMC is dedicated to safely providing quality electric energy and services to customers at a competitive cost. It values integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community above all else, according to a press release provided. It is a Touchstone Energy® electric cooperative serving more than 17,000 members throughout Kosciusko County and into surrounding counties.[[In-content Ad]]
