Powder River Energy Foundation gives $10,000 to local organizations

Press Release – Just in time for the holidays, the Powder River Energy Foundation reached out to assist organizations across northeast Wyoming who are making a difference in the lives of so many of our friends and neighbors in need.

The Powder River Energy Foundation donated $10,000 to 11 non-profit organizations in five counties through its annual 2018 Holiday Giving Campaign. This year’s recipients are:

Campbell County:

Salvation Army and Feed the Flock Food Pantry

Crook County:

Hulett Corner Market for Holiday Baskets; Moorcroft First Presbyterian Church Holiday Baskets; and Sundance Community Christmas Baskets

Johnson County:

All Souls Episcopal Church Food Pantry, Kaycee; and Bread of Life Food Pantry, Buffalo

Sheridan County:

The Hub on Smith for Giving Tree; and Walmart for Shop with a Cop

Weston County:

Newcastle Ministerial Association Christmas Appeal; Home Loving Care of Weston County

The donation is possible in part because of PRECorp’s Operation RoundUp® program. Operation RoundUp®

program gathers voluntary contributions from participating co-op members by “rounding up” their monthly bill to the next dollar, resulting in an average donation of 50 cents a month. These donations are then transferred to the Powder River Energy Foundation which is governed by the independent, voluntary board of directors who represent each county in the PRECorp service area.
