Annual food drive helps local families in need
Thank you for helping local families in need during the holidays!
Thank you, members and employees who donated to the 2025 Holiday Harvest Food Drive! We received 2,200 items this year. These donations assisted many local families during the holiday season.
During the food drive, members and co-op employees brought nonperishable food to our office, where employees organized items and checked expiration dates. Then, we passed the items to local churches and food pantries because they have a better understanding of the needs in our community. Butler Rural Electric Cooperative donates $1,000 worth of nonperishable items to the food drive each year.
Ross and Morgan Ministries (RAMM) of Butler County Food Pantry and Queen of Peace Church in Hanover Township received items from the food drive. Abrielle Marcum also received food from the food drive and partnered with the Talawanda Bus Barn to store and distribute food. Abrielle, a 2025 Butler Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour delegate and a Talawanda High School junior, collected food for those in need during the holiday season. Thank you to these organizations and individuals for responding to the needs in our community.
The winner of the $50 bill credit for donating to Holiday Harvest is member Kristina Moore from Milford Township.
