MORAN — EDP Renewables, parent company of the Prairie Queen Wind Farm north of Moran, recently donated $5,000 to the Moran PRIDE/Thrive group to support the Moran Food Distribution program.
Kevin Cook, site operations manager for the wind farm, assisted PRIDE/Thrive member Larry Manes with the direct grant application.
Needs have grown for the food distribution program because of increased demand, with fewer donations, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The monies will be used to purchase added food supplies, according to a PRIDE/Thrive press release — specifically, fruit to add to the food bundles.
The grant will greatly aid the group’s efforts to improve the overall health and wellness of the Moran community, the group said in the news release.
