Nobles Cooperative Electric (NCE) is pleased to announce the Wilmont Fire Department in Wilmont as the recipient of this year’s NCE/CoBank “Sharing Success” Grant.
The Wilmont Fire Department has been awarded two checks totaling $10,000 – $5,000 from NCE and $5,000 from CoBank – to help purchase a fire truck.
“Concern for community and cooperation among cooperatives are longstanding cooperative principles. Throughout rural America, cooperatives are working not only to provide value to their members but to improve the quality of life in their communities. We’re delighted to be able to support an area volunteer fire department through CoBank’s grant program. The people that make up these departments volunteer their time to respond to fires and other emergencies requiring volunteer fire fighters, and we are proud of the work they do in the rural communities that we mutually serve,” said Adam Tromblay, NCE’s general manager.
