ITASCA – At the July 12 meeting of the Operation Round Up® Trust Boardmeeting, HILCO Electric’s Trust Board voted to disburse $11,972.96 to five organizations in the HILCO service area.
These funds were donated during the second quarter of 2022.
On hand to help with the presentation were HILCO Electric Board of Directors.
The following organizations were recipients of the second quarter funds disbursements:
Common Ground Ministries – ($1,000.00)
Fabulous Faith’s Foundation – ($4,800.00)
Paws For Reflection Ranch – ($ 3,574.00)
Waxahachie Little Pantry – ($1,000.00)
Waxahachie Senior Citizen’s Center, Inc.- ($995.00)
Since the Operation Round Up® program began in 2001, over $938,031.15 has been returned to communities within the HILCO service area.
This was made possible from the generosity of residential members who have voluntarily opted to participate monthly in the program.
Members may have their names added to or removed from the program by calling HILCO at 254-687-2331 or 800-338-6425.
Members can also sign up for the program online at http://hilco.coop/community-programs/operation-round-up
The next deadline for Operation Round Up® is noon Oct. 11.
Applications are available online at www.hilco.coop, or can be picked up at one of the four HILCO offices located at 115 E. Main in Itasca, 4581 FM 933 in Whitney, 300A Silken Crossing in Midlothian, or 298 S. Connally Drive in Elm Mott.

Operation Round Up® is a voluntary program in which residential members of HILCO Electric Cooperative, Inc. sign up to have their electric bills rounded upward to the next dollar.
Every month, those additional pennies, nickels and dimes are added to a special fund.
Money from that fund is then distributed to local qualifying organizations with the community.
The most that any member’s account would donate in a twelve month period is $11.88.
The Operation Round Up® Trust Board, which is comprised of representatives from all of the HILCO districts, meets once a quarter to review applications and to decide how the funds are to be allocated.
