Thank you, Oconto Electric!

Oconto Electric Cooperative offers a charitable fund to improve area lives and communities.  Rainbow House is proud to announce we were awarded $750 to expand our new forensic evidence camera project.  This will allow us to acquire an additional camera.  It is our hope to provide one to each Law Enforcement Partner agency throughout Oconto County.

As you may know, Community “Change” is a project of Oconto Electric Cooperative.  OEC members who participate in the program agree to have their monthly electric bill rounded up to the next whole dollar amount and then those funds are donated to Community “Change”.  Please contact OEC to consider rounding up your electric bill at www.ocontoelectric.com or by calling 920-846-2816 and requesting a Community “Change” bill round-up card.  Thank you f or supporting our community, Oconto Electric Cooperative!

OEC is a member-owned, not-for-profit, generation & distribution cooperative headquartered in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin. In 1937, the cooperative was formed to serve electricity in rural northeast Wisconsin. Currently OEC serves more than 9,600 members throughout Oconto, Marinette, and small portions of Shawano and Brown County.

OEC’s goal is to provide safe and reliable electricity at a reasonable rate.  OEC is committed to the communities they serve. They support local schools, community organizations and agencies through donations and programs that OEC offers. Many OEC employees are active with local groups and organizations, which enrich the cooperative’s relationship with the people and communities they serve.

Advanced Training in Strangulation Prevention

Mar 10, 2021 | News

Congratulations, to our Marinette Legal Advocate, for completing the Advanced Training in Strangulation Prevention!  Joette Koronkiewicz attended this five-day curriculum through the Institute on Strangulation Prevention, a nationally aclaimed program based in San Diego, California.  Almost half the victims in our community questioned by Law Enforcement indicate that their abusers have strangled or “choked” them.  Our community is working to address the needs of survivors.  What we can predict, we can prevent.  Strangulation is a felony, as it can be lethal.
