Concern for community is one of the guiding principles of electric cooperatives. Members of two classes of Kankakee Valley REMC’s Junior Board of Directors are taking that concern to the next level by sponsoring events to help others in the community. Join us on May 30 at the Porter County Fairgrounds (215 Division Road, Valparaiso) to show your support for the Junior Board and these wonderful organizations. All money raised at each event will support the specific organizations.
