REMC and CoBank donates $10,000 to keep families warm

WARSAW, Ind. (WANE) - Kosciusko REMC, with the help of CoBank, donated $10,000 to keep families warm this holiday season.

KREMC usually donates $5,000 to help families pay their electric bill, but this year, the donation was doubled by CoBank. Their “Sharing Success” program matches donations made by cooperatives to non-profit organizations up to $5,000.

The program offers KREMC members, who meet certain requirements, money to pay their winter electric bill. 

“The number of KREMC members who struggle to afford heating for their homes rises every year, so after hearing about the matching donations I knew the CCS Winter Heating Assistance Program would benefit the most," Emily Cowan, Manager of Marketing and Customer Service at Kosciusko REMC, said.

The donation will help around 80 KREMC families.

If you are a KREMC member and are in need of energy assistance, contact CCS at (574) 269-6019.
