Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative Awards Operation Round Up Funds to Two Local Organizations

In July, the Operation Round Up® Foundation Board reviewed the submitted applications and awarded funds to two applicants, totaling $5,564.00.

The Albia Blue Demon Archers were awarded $2,214 to be used by the club to purchase 18 new national archery in schools-approved targets that will allow students to score their shots more accurately and for the club to host larger tournaments. 

The South Central Iowa Community Action Program (SCICAP) was awarded $3,350 where the funds will be used to  replace the old, outdated and threadbare carpet in the Albia Outreach Center that provides assistance to local low-income families through various matters including, budgeting, advocacy, referrals, energy assistance, cleaning supplies, food pantry, education and more. This upgrade will provide a more appealing, safe experience for clients, visitors and staff.

During Operation Round Up’s® two-year lifespan, over $62,000 dollars has been collected through CVEC’s member participation, with $58,964 having been distributed to 19 worthwhile community, youth, educational and environmental programs. CVEC is grateful our members continue to donate their small change each month that is impacting lives locally and hope our membership continues to see the value and benefit this program brings to the communities we serve.
