A donation from Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative employees put more fresh fruits and vegetables in the hands of more Oconee County seniors this summer.
Through the co-op's Employee Days of Giving campaign, employees contributed $9,500 to the 2026 United Way of Oconee County (UWOC) Senior Nutrition Program in partnership with the SC DSS Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program.
“Blue Ridge has worked alongside United Way of Oconee for many years, so when we heard about the Senior Farmers’ Market program and United Way’s wish to increase the amount participants receive, it fit perfectly with the goal of our giving campaign. Our employees have always had a heart for giving back to the communities we serve, and we are excited to be part of this initiative.” - Amy Childress, Senior Director of Community Relations
