Qualifying individuals in need received grants for clothes, shoes, groceries, propane, health needs and medical bills. Co-op members who participate in Operation RoundUp contribute, on average, $6 annually. Even though the individual donation seems small, when combined, Operation RoundUp can make a real difference in our communities. We owe a big thank you to our consumer members who give to the program. You are the real heroes! To learn more or to join Operation RoundUp please call 706-253-5200.
