Your Community

Teaching, Guiding, Helping

"Concern for Our Community" is one of the seven cooperative principles that SVEC employees not only actively practice while on the job, but in our lives outside the walls of SVEC. Giving back to our members with the SVECares program, organizing events like Senior Expo and going into classrooms to teach children how to be safe around electricity are just a few of ways SVEC reaches out to our communities to improve the lives of our members. Helping our members and communities better their lives, by being safe, informed and receiving a helping hand when needed, is the cooperative spirit that SVEC encourages and will continue to foster.
