Coast Electric celebrates Operation Round Up campaign

Coast Electric is celebrating all of the charitable organizations that the company’s members have generously donated to over the past year by rounding up their bills.

Members have their bills rounded up to the next dollar each month and of that money, 65 percent goes into a fund for charitable organizations that serve the three-county service areas of Harrison, Hancock, and Pearl River counties.

Those organizations can apply for grants of up to $10,000 twice a year. Coast Electric Director of Community Development Janell Nolan said, “It’s amazing to see that there is just a small group of people that we had here today. Over 75 people represented. The impact that these organizations and these volunteers are making to thousands of people across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.”

Applications are open now for charitable organizations looking for grant money.
