Operation Round Up is a community service program that provides funding for charitable and benevolent purposes for individuals, families and organizations in our community. This program allows Paulding Putnam Electric members the opportunity to make a big impact on many lives for just pennies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation Round Up Board Chair Jane Nice presents a $2,500 check to President Clint Vance of Paulding County Habitat for Humanity. \u201cAfter discussing this grant with our board; Laurie Lucas, our executive director and I sat down to complete the grant\u201d Vance explains. \u201cA couple weeks later, I received a phone call from Renee Boss stating we have been awarded the full amount. I could not tell her thank you enough\u201d stated Vance. The funds will go toward a Grover Hill home build for an elderly man in need of assistance. \u201cWe started a \u201cBucks for Boards\u201d campaign to raise money to ultimately lower the final mortgage amount for this gentleman. This grant will go directly in helping to do that\u201d noted Vance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the \u201cBucks for Boards\u201d campaign; these entities have played a huge role in this home build by either donating materials or time: R&L Truss, Owens Corning, Carter Lumber, Vantage Career Center \u2013 Construction and Electrical classes, and the Paulding County Land Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are humbled by the outpouring of support from our community with this home build. We look forward to sharing this home with the community at its dedication in the Spring\u201d says Vance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
