The Luck Agricultural Education Department received a $350 grant from Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative. The grant will be used to buy for a hydroponics system for the school greenhouse.
Press Release - Polk-Burnett’s Operation Round Up awarded $17,482 to help 21 community programs this summer. A new foster care closet in Burnett County, a treatment court program in Polk County that helps people earn GEDs and rebuild their lives, and other local nonprofits received a financial boost this quarter, thanks to the generosity of Polk-Burnett and its electric co-op members.
Funding for Operation Round Up is donated by members of Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative who round their monthly electric bill up to the next even dollar amount. Grant recipients are selected quarterly by a committee of co-op members, with financial donations awarded to nonprofit organizations that improve our local quality of life.
“Polk-Burnett is pleased to support many worthy programs through Operation Round Up, and we thank our members for their participation and generosity. Operation Round Up aligns with our co-op values and together, we are making a difference in our community,” said Polk-Burnett General Manager Steve Stroshane.
