United Way of Marion County’s 2021 campaign is underway, with a goal of raising $60,000 to support the betterment of the communities in the county.

The group recently received a $5,000 donation from Hormel Plant Manager Pat Kranz and Hormel workers, as well as a $5,000 donation from Weiler Products of Knoxville.

In turn, United Way recently presented a check to the Knoxville Senior Center. The funds will be used to purchase disposable trays to be used for the Meals on Wheels program. A donation was also given to Montgomery Street Preschool, the only faith based preschool in Knoxville.

United Way of Marion County works to improve the communities by funding education, income, and health projects. Donations can be mailed to PO Box 577, Knoxville, IA.
