The Wimberley Senior Center and Wimberley Valley Radio are among recipients of more than $25,000 in community grants recently announced by the Pedernales Electric Coop (PEC).
The Wimberley Senior Center, which offers programs for residents ages 55 and up, was awarded a $5,000 grant to replace the air conditioner in their Thrift Shop, which is the facility’s primary source of funding.
Wimberley Valley Radio, which broadcasts to seven area counties as well as worldwide through online streaming, was founded in the wake of the devastating flood of May 2015. It was awarded $4,710 in order to purchase a new broadcasting console.
“When times are tough, we know our members rely on organizations like these to make it through,” PEC Community Relations Coordinator Caroline Tinsley Porter said. “We are thankful to have hard-working nonprofits committed to making our communities better places to live for all of us.”
No traditional grants reception was possible due to COVID-19, but grants were quickly distributed.
