Operation Round-Up® is designed to help those who are having hardships and improve the quality of life for everyone in the Pee Dee.

As a member of MPD, your participation in Operation Round-Up provides funding for non-profit organizations and individuals, who qualify throughout the Pee Dee region. When you become a MPD member, your bill is automatically “rounded-up” to the nearest dollar. The average contribution per member is only $6 per year. Members may opt-out at any time.

All funds stay in the Pee Dee. There are specific guidelines for awarding these funds for such needs as food, shelter, clothing, health care, and non-profit organizations that provide needed services to our communities.

The MPD Trust Board–made up of community leaders from MPD Electric’s seven-county service area who serve on a voluntary basis–meets monthly to consider and review applications. In the true cooperative spirit, MPD Electric Cooperative and member-owners help fulfill the cooperative mission—to improve the quality of life for themselves, their neighbors, and their communities.

 

MPD Marketing & Communications Rep, Katie Wilcox, is the staff program administrator.
