At CHELCO, we see the value in supporting activities that make our community a better place to live. We also want to encourage our employees to get involved in these efforts. We know that volunteering not only helps the community but also enriches the lives of our team members. That’s why we offer employees up to 8 hours each year to volunteer with a 501(c)(3) non-profit servicing our local community. Through this Volunteer Time Off program, CHELCO employees have assisted various non-profits in preparing for the holiday season and more.
CHELCO staff lent a helping hand to Caring & Sharing of South Walton as they packed Thanksgiving food bags and handed out gift cards to assist with holiday meals for their food pantry clients.
In DeFuniak Springs, employees volunteered with United Way Emerald Coast and their newest Born Learning Trail at the Wee Care Park. Born Learning Trails is a series of 10 interactive games for young children with engaging instructional signs.
CHELCO and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southland Utility Services, recently teamed up to raise $2,200 for the Matrix Community Outreach Center Community Christmas program, which provides gifts to local children who might not otherwise have them.
