The holidays are a time of reflection. I’m grateful for my own family as well as my co-op family at Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative. We’re driven by a sense of mission and purpose, and our team feels a strong connection to our community and our members because we live here too.
While many of our community-focused programs and activities ramp up this time of year, we have several programs and services in place to help our members year-round. I’d like to remind you about some of these offerings in hopes you’ll find them beneficial.
We hope you’ll take advantage of our myTVEC mobile app, which empowers you to monitor your electricity usage, manage daily alerts and reminders, and pay your energy bill through your phone.
Our Operation Round Up program helps the most vulnerable members of our community. By simply rounding up your electric bills to the next whole dollar, you can help your neighbors. Through members’ generous donations over the years, we’ve been able to give $3.2 million to area charitable causes. You can find a list of grant recipients on tvec.net.
One of the most important investments we make is in our local youths. TVEC awards thousands of dollars in education scholarships through the 23 high schools in our service area. And each year, through our Government-in-Action Youth Tour program, we send high school students to Washington, D.C., for an immersive weeklong experience of democracy in action.
At the heart of all of these programs is you—the members we proudly serve. Looking back, I’m grateful for so many wonderful community partners and for the positive impact we can continue to make.
This holiday season, I wish you and your loved ones peace, joy and prosperity. Speaking on behalf of our team at TVEC, I know the future will be bright because of you.
