Glasgow, Ky. (August 23, 2023) Farmers RECC employees, along with other Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives, raised more than $12,000 this summer for Ronald McDonald Houses in Lexington and Louisville.
Throughout June and July, co-op employees gathered the donations in a Wish List Drive campaign to support both Ronald McDonald Houses, not-for-profit homes that enable families to be near their hospitalized children.
Caralyne Pennington, Director of Member and Public Communications, says Ronald McDonald House Charities offer a wonderful service to families in our area and throughout Kentucky by providing housing for families when children are hospitalized. Pennington says, “It is a tremendous comfort for families during a distressing time, and we are proud of our employees for supporting this cause.”
In August, Cooperative employees dropped off donations that included snacks, personal care items and other products to help families feel at home while staying at the Ronald McDonald House facilities.
Nate Graham, Executive Director of RMHC of the Bluegrass, says they’re grateful for Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives and their commitment to serving these children and their families when they need it the most.
Farmers RECC is a not-for-profit, owner-member cooperative distributing power to 27,000 services across eleven Southcentral Kentucky counties.
