The Operation Round Up board awarded $5,000 to three organizations to support their community work.
Brotherhood of Professional Police Officers and Emergency Services received funding to help provide gift cards during the holiday season to senior citizens with limited or fixed incomes who often have insufficient funds to buy needed medicines and food.
The John Glenn Football program received funding to support their growing team and assist in providing clothing, football equipment, and meals for the players. John Glenn’s High School football program aims to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance while providing a positive and competitive experience for student-athletes.
The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Foundation received funding to help provide the unhoused in Marshall County with temporary lodging and necessities until they can attain a stable income and afford housing. The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Foundation are compelled to contribute to healing the wounds of vulnerable people and planet Earth through a faith-based service to the community.
The Operation Round Up program allows Marshall County REMC members to support 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 October. Charitable organizations within the Marshall County REMC service territory are eligible to apply, and the organization does not have to be a member of Marshall County REMC. Applications are available at marshallremc.com.
