Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation’s Customers Care has donated $4,000 of Operation Round Up funds to the St. Clair Street Senior Center.
“The center has a very nice kitchen facility, but we’ve not been able to outfit it with supplies until now,” St. Clair Street Senior Center Director Linda Burt said. “We’re very appreciative of this donation from Middle Tennessee Electric Customers Care.”
The St. Clair Street Senior Center is a nonprofit organization working to enhance the quality of lives for senior adults, their families and caregivers in Rutherford County.
Operation Round Up began in November 2003 and has distributed more than $2.8 million into MTEMC’s communities.
The initiative “rounds up” members’ bills to the next highest dollar, with that extra change set aside for worthy causes. It is the responsibility of the Customers Care Board, which is composed of seven MTEMC members, to evaluate grant requests and send the money back to qualifying organizations.
Incoming contributions are tracked by county so that the Customers Care Board can do its best to ensure money contributed by members in a certain county goes to that county. Any balances will be carried over each month.
