GVEC members help power community growth

Local nonprofits selected for latest round of grants Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The spare change GVEC members add to their monthly electric bills will soon be responsible for some major improvements across Guadalupe County. Thirteen organizations across South Central Texas have been awarded more than $208,000 through GVEC’s Power Up community grant program. Of those 13, four belong right here in Guadalupe County. According to Christine Presley, GVEC community relations representative, the funding for the grant projects comes directly from members who voluntarily round up their electric bills each month. “So just to stress, this is member money,” said Presley. “I round up
my bill on my electric bill and that change gets put into a collection pot and we use a portion of that for Power Up grants specifically to go back into the community.” Presley says these small contributions have added up to make a major difference in local communities. “It is such an amazing thing to be able to turn around and give right back directly into the towns and the communities that we’re in and living in and working in,” said Presley. The Guadalupe County recipients include the McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department, which received $20,000 to upgrade equipment for its new attack rescue pumper. GVEC, pg. 2
