"A heartfelt thank you to Scoops, Main Street Café, and One Stop Mart, all in Altavista, for their generosity during Winter Storm Harlow! They went above and beyond to provide lunches for five days and dinner for one to ensure our crews were taken care of. Their delicious food and commitment to the community made a meaningful impact. These businesses have been longtime supporters of SEC employees, and we are truly grateful for their kindness and hard work. Thank you!"

"The service was great. I had pinto beans & cornbread..full of flavor and a BIG serving of cornbread..hubby had a chicken sandwich so good! Daughter ordered the BBQ nachos.. we all were able to take a taste of that. Dessert was to die for! Hershey’s ice cream is always a delightful treat. And the Cream cheese delight was light and fluffy and was a great side to the coffee ice cream. Cup of coffee was FRESH and hot! It was a family atmosphere that is noticeably formed here. A welcomed retreat to the end of a work day!! Come and try them out! You won’t be let down!"
