Blue Ridge Electric Members Foundation

The Blue Ridge Electric Members Foundation was formed in late 2006 in order to expand the commitment to the communities we serve. The Foundation became necessary as a result of the members response to the Operation Round Up program and a donation from the cooperatives’ subsidiary, Blue Ridge Energies.
