Disaster Fund Donations

Following the devastating tornadoes in Kentucky on December 10 – 11, 2021, and due to multiple requests from across the state and country, Kentucky Electric Cooperatives, the statewide association, organized the Kentucky Rural Electric Disaster Fund to assist members of the co-op family who face challenges after disasters, and for the aid of communities served by co-ops.
