Latest Community Make a Difference Day a big success

The latest Community Make a Difference Day (CMaDDay), held Saturday, Dec. 6, was a big success.

The local community came together to collect approximately 20 carts of food, cleaning and personal items for those in our community who are in need.

The event included teams going door to door collecting donations, as well as a collection station at the Osceola Fareway store.

Postmaster Lisa Cracraft developed maps for the door-to-door teams. Fareway manager Jeff DeForest and his staff for coordinated collections and delivery of donations. A thank you to all community members who participated.

Winning teams were:

First place: Bev Seeberger (280 items)

Second place: Julie Furman, Jen Tidman, Brittany Bethards (181 items)

Third place: Julie, Hannah, and Haley Pollard (152 items)

Fourth place: Restoration Ranch (40 items)

These were the sponsors of the event:

Fareway, Saylor Realty, Clarke County State Bank, Great Western Bank, Miller Products Company, Ranch Cowgirl Couture, Earth Angel Gifts, Family Table, Pizza Hut and Osceola Hyvee.

The next CMaDDay is tentatively scheduled for April 5. It will be a “Stock-Up Day” similar to this one recently held. Additional CMaDDays are scheduled for April 25, June 27 and Aug. 29. Projects will be decided at a later date.
