The Community Foundation of Marshall County Student Philanthropy group received a $2000 grant from Alliant Energy for their food packaging project. The group S.E.A.L., Students Empowering and Leading, goal is to raise $12,500 to package 50,000 meals
That is Julie Hitchens with the Community Foundation. She mentions that the students are working with the Marshalltown Rotary Interact Group as they will need as many hands helping on the 26th
They need to raise the $12,500 by April 19th, each dollar allows the group to package 4 meals, so each dollar counts! Julie says you can drop a donation off at the Community Foundation of Marshall County.
There are plenty of ways to help with this project, you can reach out to Julie at the Community Foundation or Ric Anderson with the Rotary club to help volunteer.
