Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative Awards Operation Round Up Funds to One Local Organization.

The Chariton Valley Electric Operation Round Up® Foundation Board is proud to announce the recipient of Operation Round Up®’s 2023 third quarter funds.

The CJ3 Foundation was awarded $5,000 to replace the front door of Kendall Place with an ADA approved door. This project will allow disabled veterans and other visitors with wheelchairs or walkers easy accessibility to the building.

The CJ3 Foundation is a nonprofit charity organization who provides services, support and advocacy to our Nation’s wounded heroes. They connect them with resources and programs designed to meet their unique set of needs. The CJ3 Foundation provides mental health and wellness services at no cost to the veteran at their Albia location through intensive therapy sessions. Veterans and their families are able to stay at Kendall Place while receiving this treatment at no cost.

Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative (CVEC) is grateful our members continue to donate their small change each month that is impacting local lives. CVEC has a long history of supporting charitable and community service organizations, from children’s programs and athletic organizations to food banks and more. We see the Operation Round Up® program as part of our cooperative heritage and values – people coming together to help their neighbors. Through Operation Round Up®, our members have the opportunity to come together to create change in their communities – something they could not do individually on this scale.

As of October 2023, the Operation Round Up® program has helped 24 organizations by providing them with nearly $81,000 in grants. The Operation Round Up® Foundation board has granted funding requests ranging from $300 up to $6,800, with the average grant amount awarded being around $3,300.
