Through CoBank’s Sharing Success Program, Medina Electric Cooperative was able to award $20,000 to two local organizations.
Half of that was a donation from Medina EC, and the other half was from CoBank, one of the cooperative’s financial partners. In the 13 years the cooperative has participated in Sharing Success, $164,949 has been distributed to organizations across our area. This year’s donations helped organizations focused on assisting with medical transportation and enriching communities in our area.
