A community playground, a local ski and run club, and a delivery service for seniors were three of 11 community programs that benefited from Arrowhead Cooperative’s 2020 Operation Round Up program.
Through Operation Round Up, Arrowhead Cooperative and True North customers have the opportunity to give back to the community by having their monthly electric or broadband bills rounded up, between 1 cents and 99 cents at the end of each month.
Since 2003 the program has awarded nearly $400,000 to over 100 local non-profit organizations and community service programs. This June $32,000 was split between 11 non-profits.
