WHAT IS OPERATION ROUND UP^®?

Operation Round Up is a volunteer program in which Central Electric Members can choose to round up their electric bill to the next whole dollar each month, in order to help those in need. The money is used to provide assistance for all kinds of worthy projects in Chatham, Harnett, Moore, Lee and Randolph communities. For example, if your bill is $65.74, Central Electric will round up your bill to $66.00. The extra 26 cents will go into the Operation Round Up Trust Fund. The average yearly contribution is around $6.00 with the most being $11.88.

Round Up will target non-profit organizations, groups and charities that are currently serving members of Central Electric. The guidelines used for awarding Operation Round Up funds address food, shelter, clothing, education, health care and vital community service needs.

Operation Round Up is similar to Members Care, a donation program Central Electric already has in place. However, Operation Round Up is replacing Members Care to allow Central Electric more opportunities to help those in need around the community - member or non-member.

While Operation Round Up® is a voluntary program, the more support received from our members, the more lives will be changed! To participate or learn more, call any Central EMC office at 1-800-446-7752.
