Sheldon, Iowa — The Sheldon United Fund is going to need a shot in the arm pretty soon. The great first week of the drive put the total ahead of the game, but now it’s about back to even.
The drive continues through the rest of the year. The goal this year is $30,000.
The fund drive is now 42% finished. The funds are at about 45% of goal, at $13,423. Over $16,500 has yet to be raised. To finish on goal, the drive now needs to average about $2190 per week through the rest of the year. In the last week, donors gave $970.
Contributions to any or all of the organizations served by the Sheldon United Fund may be left at any of Sheldon’s four designated locations: Citizen’s State Bank; Iowa State Bank; Northwestern Bank or Peoples Bank. Or you can mail your check to PO Box 41, Sheldon, IA 51201. Explanations of the organizations are also available at the banks.
The United Fund will be assisting 23 different organizations in Sheldon and the surrounding communities this year, and the board members thank the businesses and individuals of Sheldon and the surrounding communities for their continued support.
