Sawnee Electric Membership (EMC) Foundation recently announced the approval of $19,940 in funding for lunch program deficits for several area schools. The money will be used to assist thirty-four (34) Forsyth County schools ($13,360) and three (3) Dawson County schools ($6,580) served by the electric co-op.
The Foundation launched the school lunch program initiative in 2019 to assist with funding school lunches for children who may not have the means to purchase a hot lunch. These funds are made possible by Sawnee EMC members who voluntarily participate in Sawnee EMC’s Operation Round Up program.
This follows a recently announced round of donations to public colleges and universities that it serves: the University of North Georgia (Cumming Campus), Lanier Technical College (Cumming Campus) and Gwinnett Technical College (Alpharetta Campus)
