RoundUp is Here!

The RoundUp program has helped hundreds of people in need all across the nation and now it is coming to our community!

What is RoundUp?
A program to assist those who are in need of financial assistance "in our communities."

Where does the money come from?
Each participating member, like yourself, elects to have their bill rounded up to the next dollar (e.g. a bill for 17.39 would round up to $18.00 and .61 would go to RoundUp). That change is then given to the RoundUp program, who then distributes it to the needy.

Does MEA have your number?

Updating your phone numbers with MEA

When you call MEA’s automated outage line to make a report, our system recognizes your location by your phone number. Currently, our automated outage system can recognize two phone numbers per customer. This allows you to call in an outage with your home phone or a phone attached to a fax line. You can also choose to list your cellular phone as a second number.

MEA will soon be upgrading the system to handle three phone numbers per customer. The system refers to these three numbers as home, work and mobile, however, you could substitute a second home line or cell number for any of these.
MEA customers can call 761-9555 from the Mat-Su or 689-9555 from Eagle River or Anchorage to make changes to your phone number information.
