Organizers of the Scranton Community fall fundraiser are seeking donations to assist in the event. Scheduled on Saturday, Sept. 18, the money raised will benefit four Scranton entities: Marchant Memorial Library, Parks Department, Fire Department and Community Center.
The first event was held in 2019 with plans for a second event last year. However, the pandemic changed things so the second event will be held in 2021.
The first event raised money towards a new fire truck, digitizing The Scranton Journal at the library, new park equipment and repairing the roof on the Community Center.
There are three ways to contribute: goods or services to the live or silent auction or monetary donations.
All proceeds will be split equally between the four entities following the fundraising event.
To contribute, send donations to the Scranton Alumni Association, P. O. Box 2, Scranton, IA 51462.
Persons or businesses that have merchandise to contribute or want additional information can contact Dawn Rudolph at 712 370-5605.
