Gwyneth’s Gift Foundation Receives REC Grant

Gwyneth’s Gift Foundation recently received $9,240 from The Power of Change for 240 CPR-Anytime Kits. The Power of Change receives its funding from REC members who volunteer to have their electric bill rounded-up to the next highest whole dollar. If Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) provide your power, we ask that you consider supporting The Power of Change to help others in need. Once enrolled, the extra change from your electric bill will be dedicated to charitable causes.

Members can sign up by visiting REC’s website (http://www.thepowerofchange.org) or by calling 800-552-3904 for more information. The average member contribution is approximately $6.00 per year and is tax deductible. An annual statement of your charitable contribution will be mailed to you.
