Making the Holiday Season Brighter for Those in Need

Giving back to their communities is a trademark of cooperatives.  Barron Electric Cooperative employees recently teamed up with member Nuto Farms to deliver over 4,500 pounds of potatoes to 13 food pantries in Barron, Birchwood, Cameron, Chetek, Cumberland, Hayward, Prairie Farm, Rice Lake, Shell Lake, Spooner, and Turtle Lake.  The potatoes were delivered to the food pantries in time for the families to celebrate Thanksgiving. Aaron Torud, Barron Electric General Manager, remarked, “I’m impressed with our team of employees who continue to show their support and concern for our communities.”
