The Marion County United Way is hoping to raise $100,000 with their current fundraising drive.

The organization donates to a wide range of causes around the county including Boy Scouts of America, hospice groups, schools and senior centers. Peggy Micetich, who has worked with the organization since 2005 says every dollar given has a significant impact on the community. Micetich says many groups have recognized that without the United Way they would not have the same resources and services. You can donate to the United Way by sending funds to P.O. Box 577 Knoxville, Iowa 50138.
