Operation Roundup

What is Operation Roundup?​

The purpose of the Decatur County REMC Community Trust, Inc. is to accumulate and disburse funds for charitable purposes to groups and organizations located in the service area of Decatur County REMC. The REMC’s service area includes Decatur, Jennings, Ripley, Franklin, Rush, and Bartholomew counties. See the map at the right.

 

The source of funds is the REMC’s members who voluntarily participate in a roundup program. Each month those members volunteering to participate allow their electric bill to be rounded up to the next highest dollar. The amount rounded up is accumulated by the REMC and transferred to the Decatur County REMC Community Trust, Inc.
