On January 4th, 2024, Nueces Electric Cooperative visited The Ark Assessment Center & Emergency Shelter for Youth and Family Counseling Services for a Nueces Electric Charities, Inc. grant presentation and tour. Grants are awarded through our Operation Round Up Program where members volunteer to round up their electric bills to the next dollar. Members are not charged more than .99 cents per account each month. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to our members for their generous donations in support of local charities and non-profits.
