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.

Morgan Dixon and her students received a 2023 Operation Round Up Teacher Mini-Grant and were able to develop a school newspaper, The Cooper Lens. Dixon’s students have developed two issues and have three more outlined for the duration of the semester. The student-led newspaper consists of eight Lubbock-Cooper High School students coming together to provide fellow peers with quality information regarding their school.
