SVEC In the Community – February 2026
Legislative Cookout
Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) and many other Florida electric cooperatives met with state lawmakers and leaders at the annual Legislative Cookout in Tallahassee on January 21.
The popular event, coinciding with Rural Counties Day’s legislative networking gathering, is a chance to advocate for our members and to show elected officials we are grateful for their continual support and recognition of the vital role electric cooperatives play in serving communities across Florida.
Spring Blood Drive
SVEC urges community members to roll up their sleeves alongside our employees to help save lives as we host a blood drive on Tuesday, March 3, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at our main office, 11340 100th Street, Live Oak.
Since its first stop at SVEC in March 2004, the LifeSouth Community Blood Centers mobile donation vehicle has visited quarterly to give our employees and the community the chance to give the gift of life. Hundreds of units of blood have been donated over the past 22 years, helping save thousands of lives.
SVEC Celebrates Arbor Day
In celebration of Florida Arbor Day, SVEC held a tree giveaway on January 17. We invited members to visit the office and take home one of the 150 available Florida elms, which are beautiful, vase-shaped shade trees that can grow up to 80 feet tall. Florida Arbor Day is the third Friday in January to take advantage of the prime planting season.
