Operation Round Up® is a unique program that embodies the cooperative spirit by helping those who face unexpected challenges such as personal disasters or medical emergencies. Through this program, over $100,000 is given back annually to support charitable organizations and co-op members in our community.
How It Works
- Member Contributions: On average, members contribute just 50 cents a month, totaling $6 per year. No member donates more than $11.88 annually.
- Impact: With nearly 27,000 members participating, these contributions have amounted to over $3.3 million distributed since 1999.
- Privacy: We respect our members’ privacy, ensuring anonymity for those applying for assistance.
Why Join?
While participation has slightly declined due to increased living costs and changes in our membership, the need for community support remains. If you’re not enrolled yet, consider joining to make a positive impact.
