Ukraine Van Fundraiser
In the wake of the crisis in Ukraine our German sister city, Meckesheim, donated an ambulance to help the injured civilians. Unfortunately, after a terrible accident the ambulance was totaled. The cost of a new one is $50,000. Harrison Mayor, William Neyer, has started a fund to help aid our sister city in purchasing a new one. Local businesses and individuals have already donated over $30,000. While this will help tremendously, they are still short of their goal, and this is where we come in! Please click here to donate what you can to help our sister city aide Ukrainian civilians. Our district wide goal is $12,000 and all the money donated will be brought to Meckesheim when Mayor Neyer visits in May. ALL DONATIONS MUST BE MADE ONLINE!
