Dear McKenzie Electric Community,

Since the adoption of the Operation Roundup (ORU) program by the McKenzie Electric Cooperative (MEC) membership in 1998, the organization has given more than $300,000 in monetary support to individuals and organizations in our community that helped fund valuable school and youth programs; community events; upgraded parks and play equipment; equipment upgrades for the following agencies: first responders, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals; as well as helped to alleviate the heavy burden of individual medical expenses and disaster relief.

Your ORU Board of Directors is dedicated to MEC’s charitable giving cause and meets twice a year to approve applications for grant funding. Nothing brings us more joy than writing those checks that make a direct impact on bolstering our communities!

We would like to encourage the membership to participate in the Operation Roundup program. Donating is easy! As a participant in the program, you authorize McKenzie Electric to round up your electric bill to the nearest dollar. That extra change each month gets deposited into a fund that is used to help local schools, parks, first responders, and members of our community in need. To sign up, please contact a Member Accounts Representative today by emailing MEC@mckenzieelectric.com or calling (701) 444-9288.

We encourage you to browse this page for more information about Operation Roundup and be sure to check out the Frequently Asked Questions section for even more detailed answers to common questions. Your ORU Board and MEC staff are also available to help with questions or concerns anytime, at the email ORU@mckenzieelectric.com.

Thank you for your membership and generous donations to Operation Roundup over the years. We look forward to many more years of serving and supporting you, our valued members and community!

With Appreciation,

Your Operation Round Up Board of Directors,
