Local Organization Receives Operation Round Up Grant
Plymouth, Ind. – Operation Round Up awards local non-profits with grants to support the work they do in the community. The Marshall County REMC Operation Round Up® board awarded $1,000 to one organization to support the work they do in their community.
The Blessings in a Backpack LaVille Elementary received funding to assist with the cost of the new weekend backpack program. The Blessings in a Backpack program mobilizes communities, individuals and resources to provide weekend meals for elementary school children in food-insecure households.
The Operation Round Up program allows Marshall County REMC members to reach out to worthy causes in the community and work together to help others. Thank you to those members who round up their electric bill to the next highest dollar each month and to the Marshall County Community Foundation for making these donations possible.
The next round of grants will be awarded in July. Charitable organizations within the Marshall County REMC service territory are eligible to apply. Organizations may be granted only once in a 12-month cycle. The organization does not have to be a member of Marshall County REMC. Applications are available at www.marshallremc.com/operation-round-up/.
