Charity Challenge Crosses Threshold, Triggers Matching Grant
ST. CLOUD -- The annual Charity Challenge to support local food shelves has raised $130,000 halfway through the fundraiser.
It triggers a $100,000 matching grant from the Norman C. Skalicky Foundation.
However, the Central Minnesota Community Foundation is hoping to continue raising money to surpass last year's number of $625,000.
All of the money goes to support the food shelves at Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, and St. Joseph.
