🐾 Giving back to the community is one of the ways we live our cooperative values at MEA. Today, MEA employees proudly participated in the United Way of Mat Su Day of Caring by volunteering at the Mat-Su Borough Animal Shelter!

From cleaning and painting to helping spruce up the facility for our beloved four-legged friends, our team was honored to lend a helping hand and make a positive difference in the lives of animals waiting for their forever homes. 🐶🐱

The Mat-Su Borough Animal Shelter does an incredible job caring for future furry family members, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support the important work they do every day. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped show what community care is all about! 💙⚡
