2024 Food Drive

The Electric Way will be collecting non-perishable goods from now until the end of 2024 to benefit Tri-Lakes Cares. Tri-Lakes Cares is a local non-profit serving clients in the Monument and Palmer Lake community by providing goods and resources to ease the financial burden of those in need.

During regularly scheduled appointments, Service Technicians will happily collect food drive donations from customers to bring back to The Electric Way office. Donations will be compiled and delivered to Tri-Lakes Cares at the end of 2024/early 2025.  Any customers or community members wishing to drop off a donation directly at our office can do so by calling 719-231-7249 to set up a drop off time.

As an added incentive, the technician who collects the most donations (by weight) will receive a prize!

All donations must be unopened and with an expiration date of 2025 or later.
