The Allen County Community Foundation is looking for local heroes Saturday. The foundation will host “Allen County Gives,” on Saturday to help link local non-profits to donors.
Allen County Gives is a countywide fund drive with 100 percent of gifts going directly to the participating non-profits.
Currently 38 non-profits are registered for the event which will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the old Classy Attic Building, 15 E. Madison Ave., on the Iola square.
Some partners include ACARF, ANW Co-op, Special Olympics, Hope Unlimited, Pregnancy Resource Center and Sunday Soups.
Last year, the foundation raised more than $145,000 during the first “Day of Giving.” Foundation executive director Susan Michael said even the smallest donation can make a big difference.
Booths will be set up Saturday displaying information about the non-profits and what their needs are. This year the event will continue through to May 8 to allow donors more time to digest the information.
For more information on the event contact Michael at 620-380-6154.
