Sheldon, Iowa — There are only two weeks until the Sheldon United Fund Drive is complete for 2016 — and the fund will need a big boost to make it to the goal before it’s over.
The drive continues through the rest of the year. The goal this year is $31,000.
The fund drive is now 87% finished. The funds are at about 63% of goal, at $19,606. Over $11,000 has yet to be raised. To finish on goal, the drive now needs to average over $6600 per week through the rest of the year. In the last week, donors gave $440.
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.
