On March 3, 2016, Wanda Miskavige from Minnco Credit Union’s Isanti Branch, presented a check for $860 to Prairie Senior Cottages. On hand to accept the donation were Barb Hjelm, Alice Saunders, Carrie Stamm, Angie Lucht and Chelsea Ruza, all from Prairie Senior Cottages.
The $860 was raised from Minnco’s popular Skip a Payment program. The Isanti office chose to donate their portion of the proceeds to the Prairie Senior Cottages, an assisted living facility with specialized memory care, located in Isanti. Isanti office vice president Peggy Durkot said the decision was an easy one, “because they enrich the lives of the elderly in our community.”
Some previous recipients of Minnco’s Skip a Payment donations include Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, Children’s Miracle Network, Family Pathways, Friends of the Isanti Library, Harbor Room, Isanti County Food Shelf and Li’l Farm Children’s Home.
