Representatives from the Louisa County Resource Council and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative display the recent $3,000 Power of Change grant to support the council’s Wheels for Work program.
Louisa County Resource Council has received $3,000 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation for our new Wheels for Work program. LCRC will use this gift to assist income-eligible Louisa residents with emergency automobile repairs.
“It is through the generosity of the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative member-owners who round up their electric bills, that the CARE Board can disperse The Power of Change grants to organizations like ours. We thank you for helping us do great things, together, for our communities,” said Lloyd Runnett, Executive Director.
LCRC’s mission is to provide hunger relief and life-sustaining services for residents in our community. The goal of the Wheels for Work program is to make safe, reliable transportation attainable for those who are struggling to make ends meet. Wheels for Work aims to assist applicants maintain their employment status and not fall further into financial distress during these tough economic times.
“We thank REC member-owners and all of our community partners in helping us bring this program to life. Since Wheels for Work launched in September, we have already been able to assist nine applicants in getting the repairs they need to meet life’s needs,” said Runnett.
