The Touchstone Energy® Community Service Challenge is a program that has been established to help reinforce the four core values of Touchstone Energy®; Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and Commitment to Community.

CIPCO’s program recognizes volunteerism in the community. As employees volunteer on projects within their communities, and are not compensated by CIPCO, they accumulate points for each hour volunteered. These points are redeemed for reward merchandise or can be applied toward a charitable donation.

In 2007, 79 employees from CIPCO and its member systems served over 9,606 hours volunteering in the community. Twenty-six of the participants chose to use their awards as charitable donations back to their communities.
