The Burrell Foundation

The Bur­rell Foun­da­tion works to cre­ate a bet­ter qual­i­ty of life for com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers liv­ing in York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive’s ser­vice ter­ri­to­ries: York, Chester, Chero­kee, and Lan­cast­er Coun­ties. Start­ed in the mem­o­ry of Mr. Dick Bur­rell, a for­mer trustee for York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive, the goals of the foun­da­tion are to hon­or his lega­cy of fos­ter­ing hope, gen­eros­i­ty, and bless­ings to all of those around him.

Togeth­er with the employ­ees of York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive, the board of direc­tors and exec­u­tive direc­tor will work to raise mon­ey from our com­mu­ni­ty and sur­round­ing areas so that we are able to pro­vide char­i­ta­ble con­tri­bu­tions to those who need it most with­in York Elec­tric’s ser­vice ter­ri­to­ry. Help could come in the form of a bike for a child or help­ing hands and mate­ri­als to repair a leak­ing roof. The most impor­tant goal with each dona­tion is to remain true to what is best for the peo­ple and fam­i­lies in our com­mu­ni­ties.
