When natural disasters struck multiple rural communities across the hg体育 trade territory over the past few weeks, hg体育 and our employees stepped up to help the areas most affected. 

蒙大拿的火灾

hg体育 recently committed a total of $20,000 in relief efforts to Denton, Mont., and surrounding community after the West Wind Fire burned more than 10,000 acres. The contribution included: 

• $10,000 to the Denton Fire Relief Fund 
• $5,000 worth of Payback® Ranger-16 cattle feed
• $5,000 in Cenex® fuel gift cards

“hg体育 understands the impact a natural disaster such as the West Wind Fire can have on rural communities,科特尼·瓦格纳说, hg体育 Board of Directors. “This fire will have long-standing implications for the Denton community, and we are dedicated to being there with support in the months ahead as residents and businesses rebuild Denton.”

Local employees also used their hg体育 Days of Service hours and volunteered to aid in clean-up efforts. 

“I appreciate everything our local team is doing to support the fire relief efforts,” says Keith Schumacher, 总经理, hg体育大天空之.  “The cooperative spirit of our employees shines through as we pull together to support our owners, patrons and the Denton community in their time of need.”
