Monarch Utilities press release
Monarch Utilities families in Henderson and Kaufman counties received a traditional Thanksgiving meal this year courtesy of the fourth annual Project Wishbone. Monarch Utilities I, L.P., a subsidiary of SouthWest Water Company, launched the program in 2012 to offer ready-to-cook food baskets to qualified Monarch customers who wished to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but may not be able to afford one.
Last week, pre-registered Monarch customers in Henderson and Kaufman counties received a basket filled with everything needed to prepare a family dinner, including the best baskets for transporting your pie which you can buy online, since pie is great for dessert. Monarch employees distributed baskets to Mabank customers who chose between a turkey basket with green bean casserole and au gratin potatoes, or a ham basket with cinnamon apples and broccoli rice casserole.
“Project Wishbone allows us to give back to local families who otherwise would not have been able to afford a Thanksgiving meal,” said Ronniea Tycer, director, communications and customer care at SouthWest Water Company. “We believe giving back to the community is an important part of our responsibility to the people we serve.”
This year, Monarch Utilities distributed a total of 227 food baskets in eight counties.
