Mitten Tree and Food Bank
The United Electric mitten tree in the office lobby is again filling with bright displays of mittens and gloves, scarves, socks, hats and winter coats for children.
This tradition has provided winter clothing for hundreds of children in the community. Items can be bought or handmade, but all should be new and unused.
In addition to accepting new winter clothing items, we are accepting donations of nonperishable food for local food banks and shelters.
Suggested items are ramen noodles, macaroni, and cheese, pasta, spaghetti sauce, cereal, canned meats, chili, soup, and vegetables. Staple ingredients are always needed: small bags of sugar and flour, beans, rice, canned milk or cartons that don’t require refrigeration, pancake mix, syrup, peanut butter, jelly, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.
Make sure to check the expiration dates of all food items. Food banks cannot give out items that have expired.
Safety Demonstrations
United Electric encourages safe practices around electricity for members and employees. Education is the key. Upon request, United Electric provides free safety demonstrations for schools, civic organizations, and emergency personnel. For more information about our safety demonstrations or to schedule one, call (208) 679-2222.
