Each month, members who wish to participate in our Operation Round Up program can have Orange County REMC automatically round their monthly electric and/or fiber bills to the next highest dollar. The amount contributed by each member is less than a dollar a month and will average about $6 a year. Those extra few dollars from our members can have a large impact on groups and organizations making a big difference in our community. In the most recent meeting of the Operation Round Up Board of Trustees, six seniors (see scholarship story here) and 11 local organizations received grants.
