Watonwan County Raises $20,000 For Food Shelves

Watonwan County COVID-19 Food Shelf Fund Raising campaign reaches its $20,000 goal.

The Madelia Community Foundation and the St. James Area Foundation initiated a collective effort to raise $20,000 for the Watonwan County food shelves. The campaign started in April shortly after the Governor’s stay at home order. Each organization committed $5,000 to match dollar for dollar each contribution made during this campaign. We reached our goal this week. Each food shelf in Madelia and St. James will receive a $10,000 donation this week.
