Combined Appeal Milbank Business Blitz Begins Wednesday

Everywhere you go, you see your Combined Appeal donation dollars at work in Grant County. From the community transit service and 60’s plus dining program to the swim team, ball diamond, The Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and more, you can witness people helping people every day.

Tomorrow you’ll see youth from the organizations that benefit from your donation and GCCC organizers walking into your business. it’s their annual Business Blitz  on September 29 from 1-3 p.m! 

The group has high hopes you will be as generous as you were last year when they begin the 2021 campaign to raise $185,300 to fund 19 organizations.
