Hendricks Power employees participated in the tenth annual ‘Indiana’s Electric Cooperative Community Day’ on Friday, Oct. 13. Twenty co-op employees volunteered time and effort to complete projects for Webberland Baseball Field and West Bridge Community Church. Working side-by-side, these co-op employees demonstrated one of the core cooperative principles: concern for community.
Guided by its Seven Cooperative Principles, Hendricks Power shows its love and support to its local community in various ways. With Valentine’s Day approaching, there's no better time to express how much HPC loves its community and serving the members of the co-op. Here are a few ways HPC supports its community throughout the year.
"I never imagined the level of support we received from our members and professional partners when I began this project," says Steve Luckey, Manager of Construction Services at Hendricks Power.
Through RELITE, a rigorous two-year leadership program sponsored by Indiana Electric Cooperatives, Luckey was tasked with one last assignment before graduation - a capstone of his choosing to benefit his community.
Most of us use electricity, either directly or indirectly, at almost all times. Because electricity is so abundant and available with the simple flip of a switch, it’s easy to take it for granted.
Hendricks Power Cooperative has announced that in-person youth programs will return in 2022. Each year the organization provides sponsored programs to benefit local middle and high school students, including Camp Kilowatt, formerly Touchstone Energy Camp, and a Youth Tour Trip to Washington D.C.
