Lettie Clark of the Wills Point Pilot Club receives a $3,000 check from Joy Long, representing the TVEC Charitable Foundation. The foundation is funded by the voluntary donations of TVEC members through Operation Round Up, which rounds up monthly electric bills to the next whole dollar.
The Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative Charitable Foundation awarded a grant in the amount of $3000 to the Pilot Club of Wills Point. The grant was awarded Dec. 20, 2016.
The foundation is funded by donations from Operation Round Up. Operation Round Up is a voluntary program that allows TVEC members to round up their monthly electric bills to the next whole dollar amount. The portion that is rounded up goes to the TVEC Charitable Foundation and may be used to award grant requests to local charitable organizations.
The Pilot Club of Wills Point is part of Pilot International, and follows the mission statement “To serve by furthering Pilot International's humanitarian efforts through charitable, educational, and research programs in communities throughout the world.”
The donation by TVEC to the local club will go towards providing Lifeline units to senior members of the community.
