The Co-op Connection Program

Since November, members have saved nearly $21,000 at the pharmacy.

South River EMC, your local Touchstone Energy cooperative, is proud to be an integral member of your community. As a cooperative, we work for our members at providing the best services possible. In doing so, we have joined with other Touchstone Energy cooperatives in participation of the Co-Op Connections Program. This program helps members receive discounts from participating businesses.

Your card can also get you discounts (10%- 60%) at participating pharmacies, making getting prescriptions simple and more affordable. To locate participating pharmacies in your area visit our current listing , or call 800-800-7616. Make sure to keep your Co-op Connections card handy! You can also search online to find the discounted price of your prescription, www.rxpricequotes.com. When picking up your prescription, just present your card at the participating business. Please see below for information regarding the mail order prescription program.

Pharmacy discounts are NOT insurance and are NOT INTENDED as a substitute for insurance.

The Co-op Connections card will come free of charge to members through the November issue of Carolina County. There is no sign-up and no fees.
Limit one card per family. However, one card can be used for the household.

If your card is lost, call South River EMC at 910-230-2982, or send an email to connections@sremc.com, to request another card.
