HTC Stands for Helping The Community
HTC cares. We care about our community. We care about our people. We care to make an impact.
Our IMPACT is what makes us DIFFERENT.
Community Impact
HTC is committed to building, strengthening and investing in our community by supporting local organizations to help ensure worthwhile causes have the funding they need to make an impact on our community. We strive to support causes that share our core values of improving the quality of life, especially youth, education, families, diversity, technology and sustainability.
Education Impact
HTC has a long-standing history of inspiring future generations by supporting and investing in youth education programs. That’s why we’re so pleased to host our exclusive HTC REEL Kids program to recognize students for demonstrating leadership excellence while overcoming life challenges. It is a truly special program that has a positive direct impact on the youth in our community. REEL Kids is a rare program that recognizes outstanding achievements outside of traditional academic and athletic achievements and awards those who exemplify HTC values – respect, responsibility, caring and citizenship. In addition to our flagship REEL Kids program, HTC also supports education through:
- Scholarships awarded annually including Cooperative Spirit and FRS Scholarship.
- Tours & Classroom Presentations
- Partnerships with Higher Education
- Sponsorships for academic, athletic and fine arts programs
Volunteerism Impact
HTC employees generously give of themselves through volunteerism to support our community beyond the cooperative’s contributions. Community engagement is such a vital part of our cooperative culture, our employees show their support by serving on the boards of non-profits and consistently volunteering countless hours every year. They are dedicated to providing valuable services to enrich the communities where we live and work. From donating their time and energy to causes and organizations they are passionate about to donating life-saving blood to fundraising and events, HTC employees are champions for our community.
