At Community Electric Cooperative, we believe in the power of working together — because when we all do our part, everyone benefits.
As cooler temps settle in and routines fall back into place, now is a great time to make a small change that brings big benefits to your cooperative — and your wallet.
Each year, your cooperative spends over $200,000 printing and mailing monthly bills and Cooperative Living magazines. And with the cost of paper bills increasing nearly 46% over the past five years, this expense keeps climbing.
- 2019: $0.50 per stamp
- 2025: $0.78 per stamp
That’s over $75,000 more annually just in postage compared to five years ago. That does not include the cost of Cooperative Living Magazine.
Paper and envelope costs have steadily increased by 3–5% annually — and show no signs of slowing down.
- Faster delivery to your inbox
- No paper clutter
- Safe, secure, and convenient
- Lower operating costs = lower rates for everyone
This is the cooperative difference — when we all pitch in, we all benefit.
