Community
Service
One of the Seven Cooperative Principles that drives
Columbia REA is the Concern for Community. Columbia REA takes
this commitment very seriously. After all, we live, work and play
in the communities that we serve.
Columbia REA is involved in
many community service programs, projects and organizations.
You should be proud as a member-owner that your
Cooperative is dedicated to giving not only money but time to
these very important community based programs.
One of the main areas of focus for Columbia REA is youth-based
programs. Columbia REA believes that supporting youth educational
programs will help teach kids to be productive and successful adults.

REA’s Contribution to the Community – All
businesses impact the local economy. The obvious impact is employment
and payroll. But the total economic impact of a business involves
much more. The economic viability of a business has a ripple effect
throughout the community that often goes unrealized. Learn more
about how Columbia REA is impacting our local community. |
