In 2025, Operation Round Up continued its tradition of supporting the community by contributing $88,500 in grants to local non-profit organizations. These vital funds empowered a variety of groups dedicated to helping and supporting people throughout our service area.
What makes Operation Round Up truly special is its grassroots approach. The program is entirely funded by the cooperative’s generous members, who choose to round up their monthly bills to the next dollar. These small acts of kindness add up, turning spare change into significant support for those in need.
Thanks to this collective effort, numerous non-profits received the resources they need to carry out their missions, whether providing food, shelter, education, or other essential services. Together, the co-op and its members are making a real difference, strengthening the foundation of our community one grant at a time.
