This month, the Mille Lacs Energy Community Trust distributed $31,000 in grants to local organizations through Operation Round Up.
Operation Round Up is a voluntary program at Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative where our generous members round-up their electric bill payment to the nearest dollar. All of the funds raised go into the trust fund which is donated back to the community.
