While our primary focus is the needs of our customer-owners, the association also seeks to make a positive impact in the rural communities we serve. The FCV 慈善捐款基金 allows us to do just that. The board is pleased with the community support and engagement we have already received from this program and we look forward to seeing each project come to fruition."
