CoServ Charitable Foundation Awards $12,000 to Special Abilities of North Texas
By Mike Davis
Corinth, Texas -- January 28, 2013 -- The CoServ Charitable Foundation (CCF) awarded a $12,000 grant to the Special Abilities of North Texas. CCF Executive Director Dennis Engelke presented the check to CEO Troy Greisen and board member Carl Buck.
Formerly known as Day Stay for Adults, Special Abilities is a regionally recognized day habilitation, day activity and health services organization that recently relocated from Corinth to Lewisville.
"With this funding we’ll be able to offset our food costs, which provide lunch and snacks for an average of 55 people per day,” Greisen said.
The CCF is supported by CoServ Electric, and funding for the foundation is made possible by donations from residential CoServ Electric Members and CoServ Gas Customers who donate to Operation Roundup® by rounding up their bills to the nearest dollar. 100 percent of the extra pennies are used to directly support social, charitable, and civic programs in the CoServ service area. Other funding sources include CoServ Employee contributions via payroll deductions and onetime gifts throughout the year, and Employee events. The funds raised are classified as “unrestricted” and may support activities or organizations outside the CoServ footprint.
