Sheldon, Iowa — Donations to the 2016 Sheldon United Fund continue to come in, but unfortunately giving has slowed to a snail’s pace.
The drive continues through the rest of the year. The goal this year is $31,000.
The fund drive is now 71% finished, with only 26 days to go. The funds are only at about 58% of goal, at $18,125. Nearly $13,000 has yet to be raised. To finish on goal, the drive now needs to average nearly $3500 per week through the rest of the year. In the last week, donors only gave $260.
Contributions to any or all of the organizations served by the Sheldon United Fund may be left at any of the four Sheldon banks, or you can also send them to PO Box 41, Sheldon, IA 51201. Explanations of the organizations are also available at the banks.
Each week we’re mentioning a few of the organizations that can benefit from your donations. This time the list includes:
- Lutheran Services in Iowa
- Meals on Wheels
- Noah’s Ark Preschool
- Family Life Awareness Council
- Prairie Arts Council
The United Fund will be assisting 25 different organizations in Sheldon and the surrounding communities this year, and the United Fund Board thanks you for your contribution.
