Hetlinger Developmental Services got a little bit of a surprise before Christmas.
With the non-profit organization’s Everyday Heroes Campaign set to end at the end of the year, they’ve surpassed their goal and then some according to Hetlinger director Jill Burton, a recent guest on KVOE’s Morning Show.
The initial goal was $40,000 with the organization looking to raise $20,000 along with a $20,000 match. Recently, Hetlinger got an anonymous donation of $15,000, which then exceeded expectations and set a new goal of $70,000.
Burton says Hetlinger is inching close to their new goal with just over a week left in 2023.
Burton says funds raised from the campaign will not only help the people they serve but also help support local organizations.
There’s still time to donate to the campaign. To donate, visit Hetlinger.org, mail a check to 707 S. Commercial, or contact Hetlinger at (620) 342-1087 and ask for Burton or Josh Blaisdell.
