SVEC In the Community

April 2025

Legislative Cookout

SVEC, along with other Florida electric cooperatives, met with Gov. Ron DeSantis and state legislators during the Legislative Cookout and Rural County Days. We are grateful for the continued support of our elected officials in recognizing and advocating for the vital role electric cooperatives play in serving our communities across Florida.

Warm Gestures

Thank you to everyone who donated to the blanket drive benefiting United Way of Suwannee Valley’s Homeless Coalition. Your generosity will help provide warmth and comfort to those in need right here in our community.
