The Cuivre River Electric Community Trust Board met in April and awarded $25,043 in grants funded through Operation Round Up. 

Health grants were awarded to 13 individuals/families from Bowling Green, Paynesville, St. Charles, Troy, Warrenton, Wentzville, and Winfield including support for a developmentally disabled individual to attend Camp Wonderland this summer; a power recliner for a disabled senior with degenerative disc disease, and a new bed and mattress for an autistic child in need. A weatherization grant was awarded to a disabled individual in need of a roof repair for their mobile home.

Community organizations that received grants included: 
Twin Pike Family YMCA — $1,000 to help fund the organization’s before and after school program.
Alleluia Baskets — $1,000 to support the organization’s Easter program in which Easter baskets are filled with items and delivered to children in need and adult seniors.
Wright City Parks Foundation — $5,000 to help fund the construction of a new batting cage for the parks’ facility.
Wright City Police Department — $5,000 to support the department’s drone program, which helps to locate citizens in need, abscond felons, and wide area monitoring during operations.

We are grateful to our members who participate in the Operation Round Up program! Your generous support helps us to help those in need in the communities we serve.
