Papillion Operations Center’s “new normal” includes tradition of giving
food drive

Our team in Papillion, Nebraska is adjusting to our new normal. And to us, giving back to the communities we serve is as normal as it gets.

Several of the community events we normally sponsor are cancelled this year, so our employees went to work to find new ways to channel their philanthropic energy. Within their first week back at the office, the team organized a food drive. 

The Tri-City Food Pantry had seen a dramatic increase for their services during the previous six months.  Tri-City serves the communities of Ralston, La Vista and Papillion, as well as surrounding areas.  They informed us there was a need of most items and would take anything we could give. Our team showed a strong participation, nearly filling the lobby by our deadline. Donations of non-perishable food items, cleaning supplies and toiletries were collected and delivered on Oct. 23.

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 FacebookInstagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
