It’s spare change that makes a big difference. Thanks to our participating members for allowing their bills to be rounded up each month to the nearest dollar. Since the beginning of the program in January 2002, over $580,000 has been given back to our community.   The money has been used by organizations who serve all sectors of our community: youth, seniors, young families, and everyone in-between.   

The second quarter distribution of Operation Round Up funding totaled $2,500 and included:

• Reason 4 Hope, Inc., which was awarded $1,000 to continue the partnership between the after-school program at Lakeland Jr./Sr. High School and Life Care Center of LaGrange. The funds will be used to improve Life Care Center’s garden areas with replacement planters, patio seating and flowers.
• LaGrange Baseball League, which was granted $1,500 to purchase new helmets, batting tees and other equipment that is high-wear or out of date.
