United Way striving for goal

PLYMOUTH — United Way of Marshall County volunteers and board members prepared for a blitz in Plymouth Friday. The goal for this year's campaign is $475,000, of which only 30 percent has been received.
"We are looking for (donors) to step up because our member agencies are depending on us having a successful campaign," said Chad Dreibelbis, campaign chair.
He added that organizations that receive funding from United Way are helping more people now than ever before, increasing their monetary needs. Although many new donors have contributed to the campaign this year, some regular supporters have not. The campaign will be wrapped up in mid-January.
