A Heap of Heartfelt Gratitude

As a mem­ber of York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive, you are a part of a com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice pro­gram that helps raise thou­sands of dol­lars each year for wor­thy com­mu­ni­ty projects right here at home.

That’s right. By round­ing up elec­tric bills to the next high­est dol­lar, York Elec­tric con­tributes mon­ey to local char­i­ties, and the char­i­ties, in turn, pro­vide assis­tance to indi­vid­u­als who are in need. The aver­age mem­ber par­tic­i­pat­ing in Oper­a­tion Round Up® con­tributes about 50 cents a month. Since the pro­gram began in 2000, more than $2.5 mil­lion has been donat­ed.

Who distributes the funds?

The pro­gram is admin­is­tered by the Oper­a­tion Round Up Trust Board, an inde­pen­dent board of com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers that assess­es the needs for grant­i­ng Oper­a­tion Round Up funds. Local non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tions are assist­ed so they are able to pro­vide food, shel­ter, cloth­ing, health care, etc. to indi­vid­u­als who are in need.

Con­tri­bu­tions to Oper­a­tion Round Up are tax deductible. In Jan­u­ary and Feb­ru­ary, your util­i­ty bill will have a sum­ma­ry of the con­tri­bu­tions you made to Oper­a­tion Round Up dur­ing the pre­vi­ous year. York Elec­tric will also use every avail­able means, includ­ing South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine, to keep you informed about how and when funds are dis­trib­uted.
