October is National Co-op Month, and being member-owned means our members help us recognize the people making a difference right here at home. Meet Ashley, a paramedic serving Mecklenburg County. When someone is facing one of the scariest moments of their life, Ashley knows that helping isn’t only about medical care. Sometimes, it starts with a steady presence, a reassuring word and a calm voice that lets someone know they’re not alone. That compassion is what makes Ashley the first of this month’s Hometown Heroes. 💙 Who is a hometown hero in your community? Nominate them today. https://zurl.co/re4FL

Concern for Community isn't a just a slogan for us. It's the seventh cooperative principle, and it's why we show up. Swipe through a few of the places you'll find us: serving local businesses like Tarheel Q, putting hard hats on the next generation of lineworkers at Girl Power, funding classroom projects through Bright Ideas, framing walls alongside Habitat for Humanity and celebrating the students we're proud to support with scholarships. One shared mission, delivered in five different ways to strengthen the communities we’re proud to serve and call home. #TheEnergyUnitedWay #CooperativeDifference

Every pole plays an important role in keeping power flowing safely and reliably. ⚡ When it’s time for one to be replaced, our line crews get to work, carefully swapping out aging or damaged poles to keep our communities connected. #TheEnergyUnitedWay
