The new PEC Power of Change program, which allows participating members' electric bills to be rounded up to the nearest dollar, made the grant possible. Funds collected are awarded to eligible area non-profits through a competitive application process. Members can enroll in PEC Power of Change via bill payment stubs, SmartHub, by phone at 1-888-554-4732 or in a PEC office.

Representatives from 10 local nonprofit organizations were awarded more than $40,000 in Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) Community Grant funding during a Dec. 15 reception at PEC’s headquarters in Johnson City.

Among those 10 organizations was the Highland Lakes Family Crisis Center (HLFCC), which received a $1,200 grant.

“We take great pride in our cooperative’s values — like our members’ participation — as well as one of the most important, our concern for community,” remarked PEC CEO John Hewa. “We’re so proud that we’re able to help you make changes in our community.”

HLFCC, 830-693-5600 or 1-800-664-3574, exists to reduce, prevent and end domestic and sexual violence by offering emergency services, comprehensive interventions and educational programs in Burnet, Blanco, Llano and Lampasas counties. The grant will be used to purchase energy-efficient freezers.
