Operation Round Up Recipients

News

Operation Round Up (ORU) is a significant way LREC members come together to make a difference in our community. Extra change generated from rounding up the monthly bills of participating members is used to fund requests by local charitable organizations. These small amounts — between $0.01 and $0.99 — all add up to make a big impact. 

The most recent ORU meeting was held on April 7­th, with 15 organizations being awarded a total of $29,750.
