✏️📚 A big THANK YOU to Duck River Electric Membership Corporation for supporting #BedfordCountySchools through its "Stuff the Bucket" school supply drive! 💙

This community initiative, inspired by the buckets on DREMC's line trucks, encouraged employees, members and local residents to donate new school supplies to help #students start the school year with the tools they need to succeed. The drive collected essential classroom items all of which will help support students across our district.

The generosity of Duck River Electric and everyone who donated is an investment in the success of our students. Your commitment to #education will make a meaningful difference as students begin the new school year. 🍎✏️
