The month of July is another month that is becoming a fund raiser for the New Richland Area Food Shelf.
The NRAFS has been invited and is registered for the 2014 Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless July Challenge Grant, which is extended to all food shelves that are members of Hunger Solutions MN. The grant is based on the amount of money a food shelf can raise in July.
The NRAFS is able to receive a minimum of $150 up to a maximum of $5000.
“We have set a goal of raising $5000 during July via the churches that sponsor us and collecting funds during Farm and City Day Parade,” said NRAFS President Larry Goehring. “A group from Thrivent will be walking with our float and collecting. We know this area is very generous in supporting our food shelf, of which we greatly appreciate. We are just reaching out once again for help in raising additional money from Hunger Solutions of Minnesota.”
Donations can be made via your church, direct to NRAFS, P.O. Box 186, New Richland, parade bucket, or contact Pam or Larry Goehring at 507-463-3421.
The NRAFS is a IRS 501 C 3 organization so donations are tax deductible.
Said Goehring, “The Board of Directors would like to say in advance thank you to the Star Eagle, the community and the churches for your continued support.”
