Showing concern for our community


The Walton EMC Employee Charity Committee is a group of people dedicated to fulfilling the 7th Cooperative Principle – Concern For Community.

“One of the ways our cooperative shows concern for our community is by hosting charity events throughout the year to raise funds for charitable organizations that are serving the most vulnerable people in the community,” said Darlene Butler, finance and accounting director, and charity committee member.

Two of these organizations are the Walton County Boys & Girls Club and Extra Special People (ESP).

“Both charities serve children and their parents throughout our service territory and beyond, offering them a place to learn, have fun and know that they are loved,” said Butler.

The employee committee puts on these two major events each year to play a part in helping these organizations fulfill their missions:

  1. Walton EMC Golf Classic each spring, benefiting the Walton County Boys & Girls Club.
  2. Walton EMC Charity Shoot, supporting Extra Special People (ESP), Camp Twin Lakes and Walton County Special Olympics. Employees also opt into payroll deductions to increase the total donation amount.

Through these events and others, co-op employees strive to make a positive impact on our community and support those who need it most.
