Fredericksburg—Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) will award $10,000 in grants to emergency service agencies, non-profits and teachers with innovative lessons that energize their students’ love for learning. The grants are made possible through REC’s LEARN (Literacy Education and Rural Networking) Program. The Cooperative began the LEARN Program in 1996. Since then, the program has awarded more than $43,000 in grant money to the community in support of over projects throughout REC’s service territory.
