Would you give a little to help a lot?
Did you know that by rounding up your electric bill each month you can make a difference in the life of your Co-Mo country neighbors?
​
Operation Round Up is a program that allows you to do just that — make a difference … right here at home.
​
How it works:
​
Electric bills are “rounded up” to the next highest dollar each month. For example, if a month’s bill is $52.71, it is rounded up to $53, with 29 cents going directly into the Operation Round Up fund. A monthly donation may be as little as a penny or as much as 99 cents. The average member contributes an estimated average of just more than $6 per year.
How the money is distributed:
​
The Co-Mo Cares Trust Inc. trustees, made up of nine volunteer community leaders from our service area, evaluate and award requests for assistance from Operation Round Up. Trustees are appointed by Co-Mo’s Board of Directors.
What the money is used for:
The money raised will pay for such things as food, shelter, clothing and health care. Donations will also be made to community services such as rescue squads and ambulance districts. A portion of the funds will also be used for scholarships in our service area. None of the money is used to pay bills owed to Co-Mo or for political campaigns and issues.

You can also participate in Operation Round Up Plus!
​
Co-Mo unveiled the Operation Round Up Plus program at its 73rd Annual Meeting in May 2012. Members who would like to give a little bit extra each month above and beyond the “rounded-up” amount (see below) can do so by sending just one email. Email customerservice@co-mo.coop and send your name, Co-Mo account number, address and phone number in the body of an email, along with the amount you would like to donate each month. The recommended amount is $2.
​
With your help, we can meet the needs of the Co-Mo community.
