Sheldon, Iowa — Donations to the 2021 Sheldon United Fund are still ahead of pace but have slowed down significantly after donors gave $9000 in the first full week of the drive.
The drive continues through the rest of the year. The goal this year is $30,000.
The fund drive is now 26% finished. The funds are at about 39% of the goal, at $11,733. Over $18,000 has yet to be raised. To finish on goal, the drive now needs to average about $1900 per week through the rest of the year. In the last week, donors gave $800.
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.
