FEDERATED CO-OPS DONATES TO LAKES AND PINES CAC
May 14, 2026
Federated Co-ops in partnership with Co-Bank donated $5,000 to Lakes and Pines CAC. Lakes and Pines CAC, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization; a charitable, educational, private, non-profit corporation serving the seven-county area of: Aitkin, Carlton, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs and Pine. They help in so many areas in our community, such as Energy Assistance, Emergency housing assistance, Early Head start for 0-3 years old and Head Start for pre-school children to name a few of their programs.
Their big fundraising gala is May 15th where Federated Co-ops is the title sponsor. Our tagline is YOUR LAND, YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR COOP. This is a great example of Federated Co-ops donating to the community to help make our communities stronger. Jess Sonnee, Raquel Paulson, and Resha Timmer spent time with the board of Lakes and Pines and presented the check in late April.
