Appreciation Days

Lineworkers are our hometown heroes, first responders, and skilled professionals who do what needs to be done to keep the electricity flowing to the families and businesses in our communities. The work they do—often in grueling and dangerous conditions—powers our lives.

Join us in celebrating lineworkers and all the service they provide to our communities on Monday, April 14, for North Carolina Lineworker Appreciation Day, and Friday, April 18, for National Lineworker Appreciation Day. Use the resources below to build enthusiasm and appreciation for lineworkers in your community.

While you’re here, take a minute to read some of the notes of appreciation to our lineworkers and add one of your own.

If you have any questions, please email us at communications@electricities.org.

They Are hardworking people that make sure we don't stay in the dark long. They don't care what time it is, they are coming to fix our power that went out during a storm. Whatever the situation is, we can always count on them to get us back from the dark to light.
