Indianola Chamber Main Street is calling for Community Fund donors to consider making their contributions in the next few weeks, leading up to the disbursement of scholarships and funding for area organizations.
Anyone can donate to the Community Fund at anytime, but ICMS Director Cherri Kirk said that most of the money collected during this year’s drive will be distributed to multiple organizations and area students at the end of February.
