Navopache Electric Cooperative came into being in 1946 when people of the White Mountains banded together to form their own electric cooperative and provide electric service to their homes and businesses. The electric cooperative has continually expanded from a few miles of power lines in the Lakeside area to a service area of almost 10,000 square miles in eastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Power is purchased from Public Service Company of New Mexico, (PNM), located in Albuquerque, N.M. Power is purchased from a mix of generation resources throughout the southwest through a secure long-term wholesale delivery contract between NEC and PNM.Service has now expanded into more than 25,500 homes and businesses. The cooperative has headquarters in Lakeside, Ariz., and service branches in Springerville, St. Johns, Overgaard, Whiteriver, Ariz. and Reserve, N.M.

The Arizona Food Bank Network (AzFBN) is a coalition of five regional food banks and nearly 1,000 food pantries and agencies dedicated to addressing hunger across the state. Each month, this network provides essential assistance to over 550,000 food-insecure individuals in all 15 counties of Arizona. Committed to ending hunger, AzFBN not only helps those in need today but also works to implement long-term solutions to prevent future food insecurity. Through advocacy, volunteer efforts, and partnerships, the organization strives toward a vision of a hunger-free Arizona. Generated from the website
