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.

Myles Hammock, an instructor for horticultural sciences at Spur ISD, along with his students, received an Operation Round Up Teacher Mini-Grant in 2023.

Hammack and his students worked together to continue the beautification project at Dyess Park in Spur, Texas. The students came together to pull weeds, lay tarp, lay pea gravel and learn more about the importance of symmetrical landscaping, as well as which plants would survive best in their environment.

Through this project, students were not only able to learn the importance of plant science and horticulture, but also the importance of giving back to a community that gives so much to them.
