Truland Service Supports NRC and

Run to the River
Ranked nationally as one of the Top 20 Electrical Contractors, Truland Systems Corporation provides quality electrical solutions and service. But the company is equally dedicated to helping the community. Truland Service, a division of Truland Systems Corp., helped transform the Neighborhood Resource Center’s dream of a healthy foods cafe into a reality. Truland provided all electrical work in kitchen and at the café counter, and improved safety by installing new exterior security lights. This year, Truland Service has partnered with the NRC as a Platinum Sponsor of Run to the River. We are grateful for their donation and all of their contributions at the Center.
