Vernon Electric Cooperative - Community Connection

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.
Member Picnics
Three times a summer VEC holds Member Appreciation Picnics at different locations in our service territory. Members are treated to a free supper, cooked and served by VEC employees and directors. Watch your newsletter that comes with your electric bill for times and dates or click on the "Current News" button in the left column as the summer months approach.
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, 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 refreshments, prizes, gifts, tours, displays, blood pressure testing, and rural well water nitrate screening.
