Building Communities

We believe that we are at our best when we can bring out the best in the communities around us. We demonstrate that by working together, there is no limit to what we can achieve together as a community. We are committed to the communities we serve and the value it adds to us, Rotochopper, and the overall health of our community.

Continuing the Legacy

We owe the foundation of our giving tradition to Rotochopper’s founders, Fred Peltz of St. Martin, MN, and Vince Hundt of Coon Valley, WI. From the very beginning, Fred and Vince believed in the importance of supporting local communities. Their vision established a culture of generosity and service that continues to guide us today. This tradition has become a cornerstone of Rotochopper’s identity. It reflects our belief that strong, thriving communities are the backbone of collective success. It drives us to dedicate our time, energy, and resources to initiatives centered around education, community, and health and well-being.

Education

Investing in education and providing students with meaningful learning experiences helps build a stronger, more connected community. These efforts help shape our future workforce, preparing them to become employees, community leaders, and advocates for Central Minnesota businesses. Rotochopper supports education through various avenues, including scholarships with local schools, sponsoring of school events and hosting facility tours.

“On behalf of Melrose High School, I want to thank everyone at Rotochopper. These in-person tours help create interest, linking what we teach in the classroom to real life experiences, and students talk about these tours for years. I can’t help but feel a deep sense of community that is ingrained in Rotochopper whenever I visit.”
