The Central Georgia EMC Foundation Board, which oversees the Operation Round Up® (ORU) program for CGEMC, during its January board meeting, awarded The Salvation Army Griffin Corps, a grant totaling $5,000 to assist with the purchase of commercial playground equipment for the Community Center for Boys & Girls.
“This is a great example of the many worthy organizations within our community that can benefit from the Operation Round Up® program,” says Lynne Tanner, CGEMC Foundation chairperson. “Of course, none of it would be possible without the generosity of all our participating members who volunteer to have their electric bills rounded up each month.”
Operation Round Up® is a community support program designed to raise funds to support worthwhile charitable and educational needs within the 14 counties served by Central Georgia EMC. The CGEMC Foundation is accepting applications, which are available online at www.cgemc.com or can be picked up in person at the CGEMC office at 923 S. Mulberry St. in Jackson. Any eligible organizations seeking assistance in CGEMC’s 14-county service territory are encouraged to apply.
