Sheldon, Iowa — According to Sheldon United Fund spokesperson Cindy Runger, the fund needs nearly $7000 in the next three days to finish on goal for 2015.
The drive continues until the end of the month. The goal this year is $31,000.
The funds are now at $24,114, which is $660 more than last week’s total.
She says $6,886 needs to be raised to achieve the fundraising goal. Since funds are still well under the goal, and since the drive’s deadline is looming, donations of $2295 must be raised each day until the end of the year for the drive to meet its goal.
Contributions may be left at any of the four Sheldon banks, or you can also send them to PO Box 41, Sheldon, IA 51201.
The United Fund is a fundraising campaign designed so that non-profit organizations can raise funds through a single appeal and so that Sheldon residents are not approached by several different organizations throughout the year raising funds. You can choose which of the 25 different organizations receives your donation, or split your donation among any or all organizations.
Essays explaining each organization are also available at the banks.
