“Round Up,” a program to benefit the Soboleff-McRae Veterans Village and Wellness Center, will be held at participating stores around town starting Oct. 7.

Customers wanting to support the center are asked to “round up” their bills to the next dollar at stores and donate the difference to the center, said Tara Bicknell, a community relations representative for the facility.

“It’s just a small amount of money each time people go shopping. We’re hoping it will be a good habit people will get into,” Bicknell said.

Proceeds from the program will help pave the parking lot and sidewalks, which are not covered by current funding.
