Duck River Electric Membership Corporation is inviting the community to come together from June 22 through July 2, giving residents an opportunity to contribute items that can make a difference for local families as they prepare for the 2026-2027 school year.
See the complete press release for more details:
Duck River Electric is encouraging community members to help local students start the 2026–2027 school year with the tools they need to succeed. The cooperative has launched a “Stuff the Bucket” school supply drive, a community focused effort rooted in the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors.
Inspired by the buckets mounted on DREMC’s line trucks, the initiative brings together employees, members, and residents to collect new, unused school supplies for local students in our community. From June 22 through July 2, collection boxes will be available at your local DREMC office.
Donations of essential school items are needed, including backpacks, notebooks, loose-leaf paper, pens, pencils, highlighters, crayons, markers, glue sticks, scissors, folders, binders, rulers, calculators, index cards, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and tissues. Community members are invited to drop off their contributions Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at any DREMC office location.
“Every contribution — large or small — helps ensure local students of all ages are prepared for the next school year,” said DREMC’s Director of Member Engagement & Corporate Communications Erin Binkley.
For more details, visit your local DREMC office, follow DREMC on social media, or visit www.dremc.com.
