Last month, the Starke County Sheriff’s Department held a fundraiser in conjunction with national ‘No Shave November’ campaign. They gathered a total of $3,700 and donated it to local schools to pay off negative lunch account balances.
The Department raised $2,800 more this year than they did when they held this fundraiser back in 2018.
Sheriff’s Department officials shared that the money was divided between the Knox, North Judson-San Pierre, Oregon-Davis and Culver Community School Corporations. They noted that a number of Starke County students from North Bend and California Townships attend Culver which is why they chose to include them this year.
Officials extended their gratitude to the community members who donated to this cause which is often times overlooked and added that the smiles on the kids’ faces was worth it all.
