Cherryland Cares
Tony Anderson, General Manager
Commitment to community has always been one of seven core cooperative principles.
One way some co-op members have helped us practice this commitment is through Cherryland’s Community Caring Fund. This fund was started 10 years ago and has given out more than $300,000 to worthy applicants.
It is funded by Cherryland members who agree to round up their monthly electric bills to the nearest dollar. This averages just $6 per year, but with over 4,000 members participating, about $2,000 is collected per month.
Recently, an analysis of similar programs at other cooperatives was done with the goal of attempting to improve the program for the benefit of everyone in the six counties served by Cherryland. The fund has performed well over the years but like any successful business there is always room for improvement. If more of our 33,000 members participate, there is more that can be accomplished in our community.
