The Cuivre River Electric Community Trust Board met in February and awarded $27,665 in grants funded through Operation Round Up. Health grants were awarded to five individuals/families from O’Fallon, Troy, Warrenton, and Wright City with medical needs. A weatherization grant was awarded to a family who needed a new door installed on their home.

Community organizations that received grants included:
• Lincoln County Fair — $5,000 to help support the construction of a new livestock facility in which youth participate in competition.
• St. Charles County Family YMCA — $3,500 to support the organization’s before/after school programs for youth.
