Decatur Utilities continued its ongoing community support on Tuesday with presentation of $21,000 in checks to seven local non-profit agencies. (No DU ratepayer funds were used.) Funds came through proceeds from the employee fundraising auction, other fundraisers and the TVA Community Care Fund which was matched by employees' personal donations to United Way of Morgan County. And additional $3,850 was raised through vendor donations for the Decatur Morgan Hospital Foundation.

In a recent survey, DU employees voted to support three pillars of giving:
Education
Healthcare
Hunger/Homelessness.
Checks were awarded to:
Healthcare:
Decatur Morgan Hospital Foundation - medical technology enhancements
Community Free Clinic - medical and dental services
Education:
Boys and Girls Clubs of N. Alabama - tutoring and STEM programs
Decatur Minority Development Association - STEM programs
Parents and Children Together - abuse awareness education
Hunger/Homelessness
FACES - Housing and meal support for children displaced from their homes and families
Committee on Church Cooperation - feeding program
TVO - Tennessee Valley Outreach - housing and feeding program
No DU ratepayer funds were used for this support. All funds come employee donations, fundraisers and vendors.
