Local utility employees recently crafted seasonal wellness kits to share with those in their communities, Wisconsin joint action agency WPPI Energy said on Nov. 14.
Over 150 kits were donated to teachers, seniors and volunteers.
“As we assembled these kits we decided there couldn’t be a better way to use them than to donate to people who might be feeling a little under the weather,” said Kayla Pierce, member relations manager with WPPI Energy. “Community care powers us all.”
The kits include hand sanitizer, lip balm, tea, tissues, vitamin C packets and a message wishing the recipient will get well soon.
Employees from local utilities created wellness kits while participating in the Building Community Connections workshop hosted by wholesale power provider WPPI Energy, which is made up of 51 locally owned electric utilities.
Each year, utility staff from across the WPPI membership gather at this event to focus on customer service, energy industry issues, and take time to share ideas with other utility professionals to provide the best for their communities.
“Service is important to us,” Pierce said. “Anything we can do to support our friends and neighbors, big or small, we want to show them we’re here to help.”
