SVEC In the Community
December 2023Honoring Our Veterans
Just before Veterans Day, Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) honored area veterans with a check presentation to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 8095 in Jasper. Combined with a $5,000 matching grant from one of the co-op’s lenders, CoBank, the $10,000 contribution will kick-start the post’s fund for updates to its building, which was constructed by Hamilton County World War II veterans in 1946.
Touch-a-Truck
The co-op’s fourth annual Touch-a-Truck event invited children to explore a diverse range of service vehicles and meet the people who operate them. When they weren’t learning about the vehicles, kids enjoyed activities like inflatables, face painting, barrel cart rides and more.
This year SVEC introduced bucket truck rides, which were a big hit. In all, 17 organizations participated, and more than 700 people showed up to have fun and meet some of the dedicated individuals who serve our community.
