Sheldon, Iowa — The 2018 Sheldon United Fund could use your help. Giving is not keeping pace with the goal.
The drive continues through the rest of the year. The goal this year is $31,000.
The fund drive is now 62% finished. The funds are at about 55% of goal, at $17,015. If giving were on-pace for the goal, the funds would be at about $19,000 by now. Almost $14,000 has yet to be raised. To finish on goal, the drive now needs to average about $2800 per week through the rest of the year. In the last week, donors gave $600.
