Each month, members who wish to participate in Operation Round Up can have Orange County REMC automatically round their electric and/or fiber bill to the next highest dollar. The cost to you will be less than a dollar a month and will average about $6.00 a year. Think about how many people and organizations can be helped with this small act. Since 2003, $601,746.23 has been given back to local communities through Operation Round Up.
