Rounding up to give back

Noble REMC members’ contributions through our Operation Round Up grant program continue to make huge improvements and strides in our communities. The latest disbursement awarded more than $12,000 and impacted nine organizations and projects.

The program’s mission to give back to the community wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our members. With more than 91% participating in the program, the pennies donated by rounding up your bill each month are making a big impact.

Living Water Lutheran Church Food Pantry, $1,500, food

Northeastern Indiana CASA, $2,000, volunteer recruitment and training
