REC Stands with Communities on National Night Out

REC Stands with Communities on National Night Out

At REC, safety is our top priority – both for our employees and for the communities we serve. That commitment extends beyond our daily work of maintaining reliable electricity. It also means investing in safety education for our workforce and sharing knowledge with our members about how to use electricity safely at home, work and in the community.

Each year, REC proudly partners with local law enforcement and emergency services for National Night Out (NNO), held the first Tuesday in August. This nationwide event is designed to strengthen the bond between neighbors and public safety organizations, bringing back a true sense of community while highlighting the importance of working together for safer neighborhoods.

REC in Your Community

In August, REC employees connected with thousands of members at National Night Out celebrations across our service territory, providing hands-on demonstrations and educational resources about electrical safety while standing alongside our public safety partners. REC participated in NNO events at:

• Culpeper – Culpeper Sports Complex
• Ruckersville – Walmart
• Front Royal – Main Street Gazebo
• Ruther Glen – County Line Baptist Church
• King William – King William High School
• Spotsylvania – Spotsylvania Towne Center
• Tappahannock – Prince Street
• Louisa – Courthouse Square
• Sparta – Sparta Fire Department
• King & Queen – King & Queen Courthouse

Supporting Safety All Month Long

Our commitment to community safety doesn’t stop with National Night Out. Throughout August, REC supported additional initiatives to raise awareness and provide resources to local first responders, including:

• Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Parade – featuring an REC bucket truck.
• Greenwood Fire Department Touch a Truck – Winchester.
• J&R’s Annual Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show – Madison, where REC served as an event sponsor to benefit the Madison County Volunteer Fire Department.

By showing up, investing in local events, and partnering with first responders, REC demonstrates a unified force for safety. Together, we are building stronger, safer communities for today and for generations to come.
