Have you joined Walton EMC's Operation Round Up team? It's easy. Initial your bill and Walton EMC will round up your bill each month to the next dollar.

The extra change will average less than $6 in one year. That's sacrificing one meal in a year's time to help a community member in need. Your donation will help pay a medical bill, prescription drug or monthly expense.
