EMCs donate $3,000 to USOs

Georgia’s 42 Electric Membership Corporations (EMCs), including Coweta-Fayette EMC, Georgia Transmission Corporation and Oglethorpe Power Corporation recently donated $3,000 to the United Service Organization (USO) of Georgia, a charter affiliate of the USO World Organization.

Either through direct services or information and referral, the Georgia USO provides military personnel crisis intervention services, transportation referral assistance, emergency food, temporary lodging referral assistance, family holiday events and a hospitality center with children’s area, among many other services.

“We owe such a debt of gratitude to the men and women who are fighting to keep us safe at home,” says Georgia EMC President/CEO Paul Wood.

“This donation was a token of our appreciation and a way to let them know that their courage has not gone unnoticed.”
