Wake Electric annual meeting is on March 23

Wake Electric members are invited to the electric cooperative’s annual meeting at 7 p.m. Friday, March 22, in the auditorium at Louisburg College. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m.

Join other Wake Electric members in reviewing the business of your co-op, receive free gifts and get a chance to win $1,000.

Wake Electric’s business is providing electricity, but our heart is empowering our members and building the communities we serve. Cooperative businesses are not-for-profit and exist to provide exceptional service to members, rather than to make a profit.

At Wake Electric, we:

** Provide payment assistance to members in need.

** Award $70,000 in teacher grants each year.

** Support local nonprofits with quarterly grants through the member-funded We Care Foundation.

** Award scholarships for local students to attend basketball camps at NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill.

** Hold three gift card drawings annually for students who make at least one “A” on their report cards.

** Send two students to Washington, D.C. for the annual Youth Tour.

** The Giving Fence (open during winter months) and the Giving Box (open all year long) serve as valuable resources for members in need of winter clothing and/or food. Both are located at the Wake Forest office.

** Wake Electric plans to unveil a new Giving Library in 2024. This initiative will serve as another valuable resource offering space to acquire or donate children’s books.
