Cherryland Cares, a charitable fund at Cherryland Electric Cooperative, has awarded $15,000 to six area non-profits: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Michigan, Child and Family Services of Northwestern Michigan, Grand Traverse Dyslexia Association, Leelanau Christian Neighbors, Leelanau County Cancer Foundation, and the Women’s Resource Center.

Cherryland Cares is a charitable fund overseen by a group of five volunteer Cherryland Electric Cooperative members who review grant applications and allocate money to non-profits seeking assistance. Cherryland Cares is funded by members electing to round up their monthly Cherryland electric bill to the nearest dollar. Cherryland Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit, member-owned electric utility serving 35,000 members in the Grand Traverse region.
