TDS donated $1K to support snacks for Albany, Wis., elementary school students
Madison, Wisconsin (January 5, 2026)—TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is donating $1,000 to
Albany Elementary School to provide snacks for students during the school day for the remainder of the
academic year. Healthy snacks help children by making up for skipped meals and providing the nutrients
kids need to learn and play.
“As TDS deepens its commitment to Albany through high-speed internet network upgrades, we’re also
proud to step up our community giving,” said TDS Associate Manager of Field Marketing Liz Menz.
“We’re excited to make this donation and help support Albany Elementary School students and
families.”
TDS broke ground in mid-2025 on a multi-year network upgrade project to bring at least 100 Mbps and
up to 1 Gig internet service to addresses in the company’s Albany-area footprint. The Madison-
headquartered company is using the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Enhanced Alternative
Connect America Cost Model program (E-ACAM) to help fund the work. E-ACAM provides funding to
deploy and support 100/20 Mbps or faster broadband service to some of TDS’ most rural geographies.
Construction on the new infrastructure includes accessing public utility easements to install conduit and
fiber-optic cables, as well as upgrading aerial cables. The faster speeds will become available to
customers in phases as construction progresses.
TDS’ philanthropic donation in Albany comes on the heels of the company’s support of a special Holiday
Pop-up Food Pantry in Janesville. By partnering with the YMCA and ECHO, Inc., the program made easy-
grab meals available over the school district’s winter break so families would not experience food
insecurity.
TDS has been Albany’s local communications provider for 30 years. For more information about TDS
service upgrades visit tdstelecom.com/support/networkupgrades.html.

Thank you to the Albany PTO for supporting these amazing ballers with a stylish T-shirt and a treat from the concession stand. This basketball skills camp had Albany kindergarten through 2nd graders participating in three practice sessions over the past month. These skills sessions familiarize the students with basketball fundamentals while having a lot of fun! We had twenty-four kids who showcased the skills they learned by performing at halftime of the high school boys’ basketball game(12/12).
