Cherryland Donates $14k

Cherryland Electric Cooperative has awarded $14,400 through its Cherryland Cares program to eight northwest Michigan area non-profit agencies. Receiving grants were Child and Family Services of Northwestern MI, The Dream Team, Grand Traverse Dyslexia Association, Leelanau Children’s Center, Northwest Michigan Supportive Housing, Salvation Army of Traverse City, TCAPS STEP Program, and Traverse Life Center. The funds come from Cherryland Cares Round Up, in which Cherryland members choose to round up their bills to the nearest dollar.

The Cherryland Cares board decides where the money derived from Cherryland Cares Round Up is handed out to non-profits. The board is made up of five volunteer Cherryland Electric Cooperative members.
