Our Iowa employees have been busy spreading holiday cheer in their communities!
In St. Olaf, Iowa, Nicole, senior community affairs manager; Ivan, operations supervisor; Tim, Black Hills Energy ambassador; and Jeff, operations manager, helped pack 300 holiday meal bags at the Clayton County Food Shelf. They also donated Black Hills Energy totes and made a $500 contribution to the program on behalf of Iowa Gas.
In Newton, Iowa, Nicole joined financial and regulatory analyst Tello; Summer, operations supervisor; and Lynn, senior community affairs manager, in packing Christmas gifts for local families through the St. Nick’s Christmas Club program. Black Hills Energy has been a long-standing partner in this project and our team looks forward to contributing each year, both financially and in terms of volunteer energy.
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
