It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Valley REC! Co-op employees again this year helped provide gifts for the local Toys for Tots campaign. Employee donations were brought to the corporate office and to the Huntingdon district office. Employees also sold baked goods to raise money for the effort. A big "thank you" to all who supported the toy drive.
Parents who would like for Santa to have a little help this year can contact Toys for Tots at 814/506-6229.

Valley REC reminds everybody, including those playing the Pokémon™ Go game, to stay away from substations and other high voltage equipment. Not only is it illegal for people (other than employees) to enter a substation or climb an electric pole (it’s trespassing), it is also extremely dangerous. People can suffer serious injury or even death from contacting high voltage lines or other equipment in substations or on electric poles.

Valley Rural Electric has changed the way members pay their bills by phone. The co-op is asking consumers to call our IVR Secure Pay vendor directly at 866-999-4591. This toll-free, direct number is being provided to increase consumer security. Previously, members would select the "payment by phone" option from the co-op's phone menu or be transferred into the payment system after speaking to a receptionist. With this change, Valley's staff will no longer be able to transfer incoming phone calls to the phone payment system.
