Happy New Year! As we turn the page from 2025 to 2026, I am filled with deep gratitude for all that we’ve accomplished together and an overwhelming sense of excitement for each new opportunity that lies ahead. The past year has been a testament to resilience, collaboration and the power of community, and I am humbled by the progress we’ve made together.
This season naturally invites us to pause, reflect and set goals for the coming year. For me—both personally and professionally—my goal for 2026 is to serve more intentionally. That means prioritizing the growth and well-being of my family and co-workers, empowering them to thrive and encouraging them to lead with humility, compassion and service to others. I believe that when we build each other up, we create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond ourselves.
At Little River, our mission remains steadfast: to serve you better. Every decision we make, every initiative we pursue, is guided by our unwavering commitment to you—our valued members. You are at the heart of everything we do, and it is your trust and support that inspires us to continually raise the bar.
In the year ahead, we plan to strengthen communication, ensuring that you feel informed, connected and confident in the work we do on your behalf.
Listed below are some of the ways you can stay connected and informed in 2026.
- Download our free mobile app SmartHub to monitor and manage your home energy use or pay your bill. When you sign up for E-bills, opt to pay your bill online, or sign up for bank draft, it helps save you and the cooperative time and money.
- If you have questions about your bill, new connections, or need advice on opportunities to save in your home, call us at (864)-366-2141. We love the opportunity to connect with you.
- Visit our website for information on the history of the cooperative, services we provide, ways to save money and energy and safety tips for storms.
- Follow us on social media at Facebook.com/Lreci for the latest co-op news, employee spotlights, community involvement, major outages, power restoration efforts and more.
Our employees and leadership alike are dedicated to embodying the message that Little River exists to serve you.
