BUTLER RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE
HOLIDAY HARVEST delivers food to those in need Thank you to all cooperative members, trustees, and employees who donated to the 2017 Holiday Harvest Food Drive! This year, we assisted three local churches — First Southern Baptist, Friend Road House of Prayer, and St. Aloysius. We also assisted Open Hands Food Pantry and the Oxford Community Choice Food Pantry. During the food drive, Butler Rural Electric Cooperative members bring their donations to the office, where food is collected.

We then pass the items along to the churches and food pantries because they have a better understanding of the needs in our communities. Cooperative members and employees donated over 900 nonperishable items to the Holiday Harvest Food Drive this year. Butler Rural Electric Cooperative also donates $1,000 worth of nonperishable items to the food drive each year. This year’s donations assisted many local families. We appreciate each and every individual involved for their help donating and distributing the food to families in need during the holiday season. The winner of the $50 bill credit for donating 10 nonperishable food items is Judy Brown. Congratulations, Judy!
