Each month, more than 1,300 Northeastern members like you choose to round up their electric bills to the next whole dollar to help nonprofit organizations in our communities as part of Operation Round Up. Recently, funding was awarded to the following organizations:
Hoosiers Feeding Hungry
Funding will help pay for processing donated livestock to provide meals to local hunger-relief agencies in the NREMC service area. The individuals and families served through food banks and other hunger relief agencies whose services are strictly for low-income and poor populations within each county in Indiana. HFH makes a positive impact on the quality of life for Hoosiers by providing nutritious meat to hunger relief agencies within Indiana…. One pound at a time.
Grace Lutheran Food Pantry
Funds will be used to purchase food for distribution from the food pantry and vouchers to allow clients to shop at the Community Harvest Food Bank in Fort Wayne. This food pantry located in Columbia City is open from 12:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M. Wednesdays and Fridays.
RespectTeam
The funding will help teachers step outside the traditional classroom routine to get students to the root of conversations about mental health, healthy and unhealthy relationships, trauma, respect, character building, and more. RespectTeam Programs will help educate, empower, and encourage youth to recognize their value and worth.
BABE of Whitley County
Funding will be used to improve our learning area used for various classes for parents. Attendance has increased in these classes, which requires more accommodations. Additionally, there is a need for a mom's group study book. The remaining funds will be allocated for this need. BABE of Whitley County encourages preventative care and childhood development by providing incentives and a community for families.
Homebound Meals
This donation will go to the subsidized meal delivery program, feeding some of the most vulnerable in our community. Homebound Meals delivers medically tailored meals to clients who, due to age, illness, or disability, cannot provide adequate meals for themselves. This support allows many people to remain in their own homes. For others, it is short-term assistance when a medical problem occurs and they cannot prepare meals.
Enroll in Operation Round Up to help us make an even more significant impact right here in our community. The average monthly donation is only 50¢ per member. Your small change can change lives!
