Dakota Electric members donate more than $26,000 to those who need assistance

Dakota Electric Association distributed $26,773 in 2019 through its Helping Neighbors® program to the Community Action Program, The Salvation Army and 360 Communities for local energy assistance. 

“This money is available because of our members’ generous donations to the Helping Neighbors program,” Greg Miller, Dakota Electric president and chief executive officer, said. “Dakota Electric is merely the conduit and is pleased to make the donations on our members’ behalf.” 

Dakota Electric’s Helping Neighbors is an on-going program established by the Helping Neighbors Trust. Since its inception in 1994, the Helping Neighbors program has donated $652,499 to assist people in need.

Dakota Electric members interested in making tax-deductible contributions to the Helping Neighbors program have the option of making a single donation or a recurring monthly donation, which can be put on the electric bill.
