Your pennies make a difference

Noble REMC’s Operation Round Up grant program kicked the year off with a bang, awarding more than $10,500 to eight deserving projects in our community.

It wouldn’t be possible without our generous members, who help us in our mission to give back to the community through this program.

With more than 91% of our members participating, the pennies donated by rounding up your bill each month are making a big impact. These contributions reach every part of our community, from school programs to historical societies and beyond.

The first quarter distribution of the Operation Round Up Trust Fund included:

Central Noble Canstruction, $2,000, canned foods

Country Meadow Elementary Fourth Grade Class, $900, Indiana history field trip

Junior Achievement, serving East Central DeKalb County and Garrett, $1,000, BizTown project

Junior Achievement, serving Noble County, $1,500, Finance Park project

Allen County – Fort Wayne Historical Society, $1,000, school group program

Judy A. Morrill Recreation Center, $1,500, early education classroom materials

Stone’s Trace Historical Society, $1,500, building materials

East Noble Middle School, $1,250, seventh grade field trip

Thank you again to those members who choose to participate in the program and contribute to improving the quality of life in our area. None of this would be possible without your generosity.
