OPERATION ROUND UP: POWERING COMMUNITY PROJECTS ACROSS OUR REGION

This fall, Nobles Cooperative Electric members helped make a difference in our local communities through Operation Round Up! Thanks to the generosity of members who round up their monthly bills to the nearest dollar, $21,300 in grants were awarded to organizations across Nobles and Murray counties. Each project supported helps strengthen the cooperative spirit — from safety and education to youth, senior, and community programs.
