All of us at Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative want to see our community succeed because we live here too. Our board of directors and employees are local people working for local good. That’s the essence of Cooperative Principle No. 7, Concern for Community.
First and foremost, we strengthen our community by doing what we do best: providing reliable electricity to our members at a reasonable cost.
We’re a dynamic part of our community, and as the area grows, so does our electric distribution system. We pursue policies and projects that benefit the community because what’s good for our community is good for our cooperative.
Our roots are here, and we’ve been in business here for more than 85 years. You can feel assured that we’re not going anywhere.
We pay our employees fair wages, which helps strengthen the economy when they spend that money locally. And by providing well-paying jobs, we keep our towns healthy, ensuring employees and their families don’t have to move away to make a living. The more people we have here paying taxes and patronizing local businesses, the more vibrant our community will be. Strengthening our local economy makes sound business sense.
But the benefits to the community aren’t just economic. We open doors for our young people with scholarship programs and the Government-in-Action Youth Tour trip to Washington, D.C., each June. We teach children safety through programs in schools and online.
We help our members save money and reduce their environmental impact by recommending energy efficiency measures. We strengthen the community by supporting nonprofits. We help our members and neighbors in need by contributing to efforts like food drives and grants to local organizations.
The co-op is made up of people who care. Our employees go out of their way to better their communities. They coach youth sports teams, serve on school committees and participate in church activities. They are co-op members like you, and like you, they want to make their hometowns stronger.
Remember—when it comes to TVEC, our community is where our hearts are.
