The Starke County Fair and 4-H program have received $10,000 in grant funding, thanks to Kankakee Valley REMC and CoBank. Kankakee Valley REMC says its $5,000 donation is just the latest part of its regular support of county fairs in Starke, Pulaski, LaPorte, and Porter counties. The electric cooperative says its financial contributions to county fairs and 4-H programs reflect the organization’s strong commitment to youth and local communities.
However, Kankakee Valley REMC’s $5,000 contribution to Starke County was doubled as part of CoBank’s Sharing Success program. CoBank is a cooperative bank serving industries in rural areas around the country. With the help of its customers, the Sharing Success program has provided nearly $20 million to nonprofit organizations, since 2012.
Kankakee Valley REMC says the $10,000 will be used to support the 4-H program and help maintain the fairgrounds.
