Vernon Electric Cooperative - Community Involvement

Community Involvement

Operation Round Up: Helping those in our area in need.
Highway Pick-up: VEC sponsors a 2-mile section of highway from Westby, WI, north to Hegge Rd. VEC employees and their families volunteer their time to keep this section of highway clean.
Employees involved in organizations: It is Vernon Electric Cooperative's policy to encourage employees to be involved in community organizations. VEC has employees that are, or have been, involved in Lions, Optimists, Kiwanis, and Rotary. We also have many employees that volunteer their time and resources to coaching, conservation organizations, ecomomic development, tourism promotion, city government, church council and other church activities.
Food Pantry Donations: Vernon Electric Cooperative employees voluntarily donate money to our local food pantry each time they are served lunch during employee meetings that are held several times a year.
Open House: October is National Co-op Month. To celebrate we have an Open House sometime in the month of October. Watch your newsletter for dates and time. Our Open House usually consists of free meal, prizes, gifts, tours, displays, blood pressure testing, and rural well water nitrate screening.
