In response to the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, BELD is proud to have sent three dedicated crews to assist with power restoration efforts. Our teams, equipped with bucket trucks and a digger utility truck, were dispatched to Sandersville, Georgia, Laurens, South Carolina, and Orlando, Florida, joining forces with several other Northeast Public Power Association utilities to help restore electricity as safely and quickly as possible.
Working tirelessly around the clock, our crews were met with an incredible outpouring of kindness from the local communities. A special thank you goes to a group of thoughtful young ladies who lifted our spirits with care packages filled with snacks and drinks. Their generosity and bright smiles kept our teams motivated during long days of work, reminding us of the true strength of community, especially in challenging times.
We are deeply grateful for the warm welcome we received in all three states, as well as the overwhelming support shared on social media. It’s moments like these that make our efforts all the more meaningful.
