Seated among this group of Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative (MEC) Christmas elves is W. J. Mann with the Charlotte County/ Mecklenburg County Salvation Army. Mann states, “We can always count on MEC to help us in a big way with this worthwhile project by filling stockings for under-resourced families.” We commend the Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative Christmas elves and the Salvation Army for helping families in need.
