During this holiday season, I can’t help but think about my many blessings. Despite the hardships many of us have faced in the past few years with higher prices and loved ones experiencing illness, we all still have much for which to be thankful.
With the upcoming Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday and the ultimate gift of Christmas, I’ve found myself reflecting on how to better serve those around me and I’d like to assure you that your co-op does the same.
When times get hard, your co-op cares. We’re not just your trusted source for power, but we also want to serve as a resource to connect those in need with help, those who can give to organizations who protect the most vulnerable, all while maintaining affordable, safe and reliable service to our members. We’re not just your power company, we’re your co-op and we’re here to always look out for you. As life ebbs and flows, your co-op’s promise of excellence remains steadfast.
As we bring this year to a close, I encourage you to review the information listed below. Perhaps you are in need of assistance, or maybe you can donate to help others. Maybe you would like to make improvements to your home or you might need more guidance on how to save energy. Either way, we’re here to help, we’re here to serve and we’re proud to be your co-op.
Do you or someone you know require assistance?
