Community Involvement
Commitment to community is a founding principle of electric cooperatives, but it is more than just talk. It describes the cooperatives and its employee’s commitment to donate time and money to local causes and assist the local communities in which we serve and live. As a local business, staffed by your friends and neighbors, Wasco Electric looks for ways to make a difference – beyond delivering electricity. Here is a look at some of the ways your co-op is helping the communities we serve.

- Sponsorship of community events

- The WECare program for energy assistance to those families struggling to make ends meet
