Duck River Electric Membership Corporation (DREMC) has donated a total of $52,200 to 13 nonprofit organizations serving communities across its service area. This impactful contribution includes $35,200 raised during DREMC’s inaugural Commitment to Community Charity Golf Tournament and $17,000 in matching funds from TVA’s Community Care Fund.

The funds support a wide range of vital services, including:

•     Emergency electric bill assistance through Project HELP.

•     Support for individuals battling cancer.

•     Services for children and teens facing abuse or hardship.

•     Programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities.

•     Educational initiatives across the region.

“Generosity isn’t just an act of kindness — it’s a way of life that binds people together,” said DREMC President and CEO James Wright. “Serving others is at the center of what we do every day.”

The nonprofit organization in Moore County receiving funds through this effort is the Moore County Resource Center.

Among the recipients are several organizations that administer DREMC’s Project HELP program, which exists entirely through donations from DREMC members, employees, and community partners. The program offers emergency electric bill assistance to Duck River Electric members, making a difference for our neighbors facing financial hardship.

DREMC’s commitment reflects the cooperative principle, Concern for Community, reinforcing its role in building stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.
