Flood donations put to use

The recent donation of $20,000 to United Fund of Columbus Junction to assist families in the Columbus Junction and Wapello areas with flood recovery is beginning to have an impact. Mallory Smith, United Fund of Columbus Junction secretary says certificates for $150 and $100 to be used toward the purchase of furniture, appliances and building supplies at Louisa County owned businesses have been mailed to recipients and these certificates are starting to be redeemed. Smith says they are really pleased that this money not only helps the flood victims but also supports local businesses
