American Crystal Sugar Company presented the Care and Share in Crookston with a check for $5,000 on Monday morning.
Care and Share has around 22 men who share one bathroom with two sinks, two stools, and two showers. The plan is to reopen another bathroom with two sinks, two urinals, one stool, and one shower. The donation from American Crystal will help make the plan a reality. “We are so grateful for the money from American Crystal,” said Bobbi Flemming, Care and Share Director. “American Crystal’s generosity will make a big difference here at the Care and Share.” Last summer, American Crystal donated $1,000 to pay for the labor to sheetrock and tape a large classroom into a new dorm, now housing nine men who are homeless.
The Care and Share will have their second annual Progressive Dinner fundraiser on Sunday, December 16, starting at 4:00 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church. The dinner will move to Cathedral at 6:00 p.m. and will end at Wesley United Methodist Church at 6:45 p.m. The benefit will include a silent auction and wine raffle. To purchase progressive dinner fundraiser tickets, call Bobbi at the Care and Share at 281-2644.
