Making Christmas a little brighter for local families in Nebraska
toys

Our employees in Western Nebraska recently partnered with CAPWN (Community Action Partnership of Western Nebraska), Paul Reed Construction and other businesses in the Scottsbluff/Gering area to help make Christmas a little brighter for area families who may be struggling this year.

We donated $500 and our elves used that to purchase toys and deliver them to a designated drop off point in Gering. CAPWN reported that there are at least 270 families in the area who qualify for this program and over 700 children who would probably not see gifts this year if it were not for the generosity of local businesses and citizens from around the area.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this season bright for those who needed a little boost.

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.
