Concern for Community is one of the Seven Cooperative Principles guiding South Plains Electric Cooperative. Giving back to our community gives our Cooperative the opportunity to support community efforts that enhance the quality of life for members and their families. Operation Round Up helps provide funding for community members in need.

Operation Round Up is funded by Cooperative members rounding their bill up to the nearest dollar.

In 2023, Kelsie Johnson and her fifth-grade students at New Deal Middle School were awarded the Operation Round Up Teacher Mini-Grant.

With the grant funds, Johnson purchased clipboards and drawstring backpacks for each student to use while on their overnight field trip to Camp Grady Spruce on Possum Kingdom Lake. Students were able to use the equipment they received to take notes and carry supplies along their hiking routes.
