Community Involvement

Community Monetary Donation Guidelines

Overview

We are proud to help support the communities that we serve. Each year we determine our donations budget on the number of services purchased in each town. The more WesTel Systems services sold in that area, the bigger the Donations Budget.
WesTel Systems reserves the right to change or alter the donation guidelines at any time without prior notification.
