Our statewide association, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives, also awards scholarships each year. If a student receives power from SVEC (or another electric cooperative), they would also be eligible for this opportunity.

Addie B. Sanders was a kind, caring and giving woman all of her life.  She lived to serve her Lord and do good in every way possible.

She never knew luxuries or monetary wealth in her life, but she was rich with love, kindness, compassion and grace and she believed that every living being in our world was worthy of these things.

Addie grew her own food.  She made use of all her land by raising beef, fruit and vegetables. She made sure that the pollinators had plenty of flowers. especially Zinnas to eat from.  She knew the importance of their work.  She always planted extra vegetables in her garden and never picked her fruit trees bare because the wildlife “needed to eat too.”   If there was soil, she was going to plant something in it.  She took great pride in what she grew and preserved. 

Addie not only looked after wildlife, she made sure that her family, friends and neighbors were taken care of.  She fed anyone that was hungry and shared everything that she had.  She always gave, through her heart and by her hands.  It was her belief that  if we want a better world, it starts with us.
