In August, the Central Georgia EMC (CGEMC) Foundation Board awarded grants totaling $12,900 to support community projects, including:

• Camp Dream Foundation, Inc.:  $2,400 to support Camp Dream’s “Summer Camp in a Box” program.

• Operation Lunchbox: $2,500 to purchase food for local children.

• Noah's Ark Rehabilitiation Center, Inc: $5,000 to provide signage for their Animal Awareness Campaign.

• Spectrum Abilities: $2,500 to support their Social Outings and Recreational Program (SOAR).

• Red Cross of Northeast Georgia: $500 to fund the Disaster Recovery Fund, Morgan County.

The average Operation Round Up participant’s donation is fifty cents per month, but that "change" adds up to makes a big difference in local communities.
