(Statewide) – Indiana’s electric cooperatives hosted their annual Community Day on Friday, October 9.
Thirty-one electric co-ops completed projects that address specific needs within their local communities.
In our area, Decatur County REMC volunteered at the Southeastern Baptist Youth Camp, where they performed electrical work, cut wood, and cleaned; Southeastern Indiana REMC volunteered at Versailles State Park, where they cleared trails and helped with various projects throughout the park.
Indiana Electric Cooperatives (IEC) says the day of service embodies one of the core co-op principles: concern for community.
With over 40 projects executed or planned, the initiative allows cooperatives to use their time, skills, and resources to make a meaningful impact across Indiana.
“When cooperatives unite around a common purpose, our impact multiplies,” said John Cassady, CEO of IEC. “Community Day is about showing what’s possible when we combine our efforts to improve lives across the state.”
