LYNCHBURG — A Moore County nonprofit that’s laser-focused on being a one-stop site for anyone in Lynchburg needing a little help recently received a donation from the Duck River Electric Membership Corporation (DREMC). The Moore County Resource Center are one of 13 nonprofits across Duck River’s service area to receive the award.
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 MCRC provides backpacks to local students, and organizes the annual Lynchburg Angle Tree Program among other programs aimed at giving back.
In addition to the MCRC, the funds supported 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 hardships, programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities, as well as 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.”
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.
