Prairie Brome Solar Community Grant Program Testimonials

United of Way Lee County is so grateful to be able to receive grant funding from Geenex. This past summer, we were able to receive a grant to help with our Summer Eats meal program. Their financial contribution to our program allowed us to be able to purchase food that addressed food insecurity in Lee County. We are so grateful for our community partners that help make this program possible! Contributions not only help support the program but grow and expand it in our community!

We truly appreciate the tornado relief donation. It made a big difference in helping our small business recover from the damage. Thank for investing in our community.

The absolute generosity of Wombat Solar went above and beyond to help save my business and keep it alive during a natural disaster. Leah and Wes are a perfect example that there is still good in this world

The grant from Wombat Solar was incredibly helpful to help us in the interim before we could get insurance payments. They were the first ones to offer us help.
