KNOB NOSTER — Knob Noster Jubilation Center has been chosen as a recipient of funding through the West Central Electric Cooperative Operation Round Up Foundation.
The $1,200 grant will be used for the membership fees for Footsteps Camps.
Footsteps Camps is a group of nonprofit organizations that join together to receive overstock and return items from Amazon, CVS Pharmacy stores, Walmart and other companies which are then made available free of charge to anyone needing assistance.
Items available include clothing, toys, tools, household items, electronics, small kitchen appliances and personal hygiene items.
The West Central Electric Round Up Foundation was established in the fall of 2017 with the first funds being collected in September 2018. Members who chose not to opt out of the program have their bills rounded up each month to the nearest dollar with proceeds benefiting foundation applicants chosen for funding.
For those interested in applying for funding for an organization, applications are available at westcentralelectric.com along with a list of program requirements.
The board meets quarterly to consider applications and award funds. For more information on the Round Up Program, contact Kim Lewis at 800-491-3803 or 816-565-4942.
