Black Hills Energy Supports Flood Relief, Donates to Midlands Community Foundation

Black Hills Energy (www.blackhillsenergy.com) employees from across Nebraska who attended the company’s Safety Summit on April 3 at Embassy Suites utilized the event to support flood relief efforts in the area. The approximately 250 employees in attendance brought supplies for the benefit of flood victims. The supplies filled a 4’ trailer. At the conference, hardhats were passed around and over $1,800 was collected to be donated to Midlands Community Foundation (MCF) (midlandscommunity.org). MCF will transfer the funds to the Bellevue Community Foundation and Louisville Area Foundation, affiliated funds of MCF, to aid flood victims in those communities.

“Healthy, vibrant communities is the lifeblood of Black Hills Energy and a huge part of the company’s culture is providing support to those who are most vulnerable. We are thankful for the Black Hills employees who stepped up to help those who have been impacted by the devasting flooding in these areas where Black Hills serves customers,” said Jan Davis, MCF board member and former Black Hills Energy employee.
