| Beginning in February 2002, the customers of Humboldt Utilities began an innovative program to help provide funds for needy families and children in our community.
This program will be called Round Up-Plus, and every Humboldt Utilities customer can participate!
How will it work? Your utility bill each month will be “rounded up” to the next highest dollar amount. For example, if your month’s bill is $52.71, it would be rounded up to $53.00. These extra cents Plus one dollar would be your monthly contribution to the Round Up-Plus fund. All contributions to this fund would be used to help those in our community who need assistance with food, clothing, shelter, utilities, medicine, and other special needs. By participating in this program, you will contribute an average of $1.50 per month – a small amount, but a tremendous boost to those who need help.

| The money collected through Round Up-Plus will be distributed through the newly reorganized Helping Hand of Humboldt, Inc. Rev. Herb Adams is chairman of the 18-member board which is made up of local ministers and business people.
How do you sign up for Round Up-Plus? Easy – you automatically will be included in Round Up-Plus with your February bill. However, you may opt not to participate by returning the form below. If necessary, you can discontinue participation any time later by notifying Humboldt Utilities. Your contributions to Round Up-Plus are tax deductible, and you will receive a summary of your annual contribution on your January – February bills.
If all 4,500 Humboldt Utilities customers participate, approximately $ 80,000 will be available each year to help those families and children who are struggling with the basic necessities of life.
Help us help our community – let’s make Round Up-Plus a success!
