The True Gift of Electricity
Tuesday | December 22, 2020

REC makes it is easy for anyone to provide a little help on a friend, neighbor or relative’s electric account. It’s as easy as gifting a loved one with a gift card, but it can have a huge impact.


“When you give the gift of electricity to a loved one, it impacts their everyday life,” said Casey Hollins, director of communications and public relations. “It can help with any financial burden they may be facing, but it also provides a fun movie night, cooking a family meal and the ability for students to do their school work.”


To give the gift of electricity, you just simply fill out the form and return it, with the funds to help someone, by mail with your electric bill. Your friend’s or relative’s electric account will be credited in the amount of your gift and you will receive confirmation.
