Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation's Customers Care has donated $10,000 of its Operation Round Up funds to Mid-Cumberland Meals-on-Wheels.

"We are so blessed by the community support expressed through this donation," Debbie Willis, site coordinator of Mid-Cumberland Meals-on-Wheels said. "In Tennessee, nearly one of five seniors go hungry. These funds will help provide vital services to the elderly of the MTEMC service area."

Mid-Cumberland Meals-on-Wheels provides healthy home-delivered meals to individuals age 60 and over, helping seniors maintain dignity and good health and continue to live in their homes as long as possible.

In 2014, Customers Care has given more than $804,393 to 120 organizations across MTEMC's four-county service area. The receiving organizations use the funds to assist MTEMC members and their families during their times of need. Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative providing electricity to more than 200,000 residential and business members in Cannon, Rutherford, Williamson and Wilson counties.

These grants are administered through the Customers Care board, which tracks incoming contributions from Operation Round Up, an initiative that rounds up a member's bill to the next highest dollar. Since 2003 Operation Round Up has distributed more than $8 million to 548 organizations across the region.
