Crisis Assistance - Financial

Operation Round Up Cape Hatteras Electric Foundation, INC.

252-995-5616
P.O. Box 9
Buxton, NC 27920


A not-for-profit organization established to provide assistance to individuals or families on Hatteras Island who are suffering financial hardships. The foundation operates on monies contributed by members who participate in the rounding-up of their electric bills. (For example, if a participating member had a bill of $74.65, it would be rounded up to $75.00 for a contribution of $.35. In one year, a member may contribute as little as $.12 or as much as $11.88). Money is not distributed to the individual but is sent directly to creditors who are seeking payment on past due accounts. This money may not be applied to payment of electric bills.
