Brodhead Water and Light celebrates 110 years of service Brodhead Water and Light, the community’s locally owned, not-for-profit electric utility, recently celebrated 110 years. Brodhead Water and Light is a proud member-owner of WPPI Energy, a notfor-profit wholesale energy provider and joint action agency. The utility’s milestone anniversary received recognition at an awards ceremony during the WPPI Energy Annual Meeting in September in Sheboygan. “I’d like to extend my congratulations and appreciation to Brodhead Water and Light for 110 years of service to their community,” said WPPI Energy President
and CEO Mike Peters. “It’s a significant milestone and we’re happy to celebrate it with them today.” “Our utility is owned by the community,” said Superintendent Ed Hoff. “It’s a big strength. This benchmark helps us consider what we have done and how we will continue to best serve that community going forward.” Supplying customers with a reliable, cost-efficient electric and water source is just one goal of Brodhead Water and Light. The utility’s civic pride and commitment to excellent customer service extends to making Brodhead a better place to live and work.
Family Promise of Green Country, in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin, has opened a community food pantry to serve families in Juda, Brodhead, and Albany communities. Discussions began in early 2022 to assess the increased need for services to families who were experiencing food insecurity and may not have available transportation to get to the Monroe Food Pantry or the Green Cares Food Pantry in Monticello. Meetings with Second Harvest Food Bank as well as input from the three school districts serving these communities indicated a great concern and an even greater need. Family Promise of Green Volunteers help out with the mobile pantry program County communicated with that will serve Juda, Brodhead and Albany. local churches and civic PHOTO SUBMITTED Connections groups to open discussions about creating an additional pantry to serve these communities. Members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Brodhead had previously in 2022 worked with Family Promise and the SWCAP Mobile Pantry program to allow the use of their parking lot on a monthly basis as the site for the mobile pantry stop. Earlier this year, Family Promise director Rick Gleason met with the Church Council at Bethlehem Lutheran Church and asked them to consider designating space in their building to be used for a drive-through pantry program to which they agreed. In August 2023, the pantry began serving families with the drive-up pantry operating the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 4 to 6 p.m. Due to space limitations the pantry is only able to serve families from the 53550, 53520, and 53502 zip codes. The pantry is located at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 405 E. 9th Ave, Brodhead. Families are welcome to use the pantry on both days each month, ID is required. During the first two months of operation, the pantry served 111 families for a total of 236 people. During that same period, they processed a total of 6,911 pounds, approximately 3 1/2 tons, of food for distribution. The group is grateful to all their volunteers, to the Second Harvest Food Bank, to the local Kwik Trip, and to the Dollar General store in Brodhead who are ongoing donors to the food pantry. To learn how to get involved by donating food or volunteering, contact Family Promise by calling 608-328-2600 or sending an email to director@ familypromisegreencounty. To support the food pantry financially, anyone interested can send a donation to: Family Promise of Green County, PO Box 378, Monroe, WI 53566 or contact them at the above-listed contacts. Please designate the donation as “Food Pantry.”
