THE HOLIDAY SEASON is finally here. Some consider it the most wonderful season because it’s associated with family traditions and gathering with friends and loved ones over Christmas.

It’s a time of giving and spreading joy, which reminds me of the many good things we have right here in our community and why it’s so important to spread the good as far as we can—especially to the most vulnerable. I’m also reminded of how generous our community is and the big impact we can have when we work together.

As a member of Farmers Electric Cooperative, you help us spread the good throughout the year. Through our Operation Round Up program, your donations help local families and individuals in need.

When you round up your monthly bill and donate the spare change to this fund, you’re making a big difference in someone’s life. You’re helping to meet immediate, critical needs, and just as importantly, you’re letting someone know their community cares for them.

Community involvement is part of what defines who we are as an organization. Not only do we serve this area, but we live here as well, we are your neighbors. When we first brought electricity to

Northeast Texas, the quality of life improved. But we didn’t stop there. Through the years, this co-op has remained steadfast in its commitment to serve the community that sustains it. It’s why we created Operation Round Up.

To date, with your help, we’ve given over $4 million to organizations that help families in need. Across the country, more than 350 electric co-ops participate in Operation Round Up, and together, we’ve raised millions for our communities.

Over the years, Farmers EC has supported many organizations like Meals on Wheels of Rockwall County and Hunt County Kids. We have enabled families in need to keep the lights on, and much more through our Operation Round Up program.

Operation Round Up is a testament to the fact that small donations from members over time, can collectively make a big impact—not just during the holidays but all year long.
