What sets Noble REMC members apart? Their commitment to community.

That’s why we’re so grateful to those who give back through our Operation Round Up grant program.

With more than 91% of our members participating in the program, the pennies donated by rounding up your bill each month are making a big impact. Your contributions are reaching across our community, from youth programs to health care to homemakers.

The third quarter distribution of the Operation Round Up Trust Fund awarded $11,450 to six organizations in our community, including:

The Apple Tree Center, $1,500, nature-based preschool program

The Arc Noble County Foundations, $5,000, facility improvement project

The Crew Youth Center, $1,000, after-school programming

St. Martin’s Healthcare, Inc., $2,500, chronic disease management program

Noble County Extension Homemakers, $800, Head Start program books

Augusta Hills Learning, Recreation, and Community Center, $650, technology equipment

Nonprofit organizations who are seeking funding for a project, can fill out and return an application to the Noble REMC office by Oct. 1 to be considered for the next round of Operation Round Up disbursements. Applications can be downloaded from nobleremc.com
