In a significant move to combat child hunger within our community, the collaborative efforts of Mt. Wheeler Power and CoBank have culminated in a compassionate gesture of support towards the Committee Against Child Hunger program. This initiative has been positively impacted by an unprecedented contribution totaling $10,000, facilitated through CoBank’s Sharing Success Grant program.

CoBank, a cooperative bank serving vital industries across rural America, plays a pivotal role in supporting rural infrastructure, businesses, and communities. The Sharing Success program, a hallmark of CoBank’s philanthropic efforts, amplifies the contributions of its co-op members to their communities by matching donations, thereby doubling the impact of their support toward meaningful projects and causes.

Mt. Wheeler Power, a respected player in our local community, partnered with CoBank to utilize this grant program, showcasing their commitment to not only powering our homes but also empowering our community members. Their decision to support the Committee Against Child Hunger underscores a deeply rooted belief in fostering the health and well-being of the next generation.

The generous donation from Mt. Wheeler Power, matched by CoBank brings critical resources to the Committee Against Child Hunger program. This infusion of support will significantly enhance the program’s capacity to provide nourishing meals to children in need, ensuring that our community’s most vulnerable members receive the assistance they so desperately require.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support from Mt. Wheeler Power and CoBank,” said April Bath, board member of the Community Against Child Hunger program. “Their generous contribution will have a profound impact on our ability to meet the increasing demand for nutritional support among children in our community. This partnership is a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of collective effort in addressing child hunger.”

This strategic collaboration between Mt. Wheeler Power, CoBank, and the Committee Against Child Hunger program exemplifies the possible impactful changes when businesses and communities unite toward a common goal.
