Operation Round Up Continues Community Giving

Youth programs across Hendricks County receive support 

On behalf of Hendricks Power Cooperative and its members, donations were made to St. Malachy School, North Salem Elementary, and Project 
A.N.G.E.L. (Area Neighbors Giving Extra Love) of Hendricks County. 
St. Malachy will be using its $1,000 donation to install new soccer goals on its campus for various community youth teams and its students. St. Malachy serves students from preschool through eighth grade. 
North Salem Elementary will use its donated funds of $1,000 to purchase 24 balance bikes, converter kits, and helmets for its Bikes for Kids Program, which serves more than 70 students. 
Project A.N.G.E.L. received a $1,000 donation, which will sponsor children in its Christmas Assistance program. Through the program, eligible children receive three outfits, three toys, a winter coat, and a box of groceries for their families. In 2023, the organization saw a 20 percent increase in Christ­mas Assistance applications. 
"We are thankful to our generous members who make these donations possible," said Heather Thompson, Director of Marketing and Member Engagement at Hendricks Power Cooperative. "Assisting children within our community by supporting their development is vital."
