Big givers help new shelter

Iola Senior Citizens, Inc. presented Allen County Animal Rescue Facility with $500, “the latest installment” in donations amounting to $4,000 over the past year and a half, said Senior Citizens volunteer CeCe Huston.
Joe Hess, another Senior volunteer, noted “ACARF is one of 15 organizations we donate to regularly.”
Iola Senior Citizens raises money through sales — predominantly of used clothing — at its thrift shop on North State Street.
“ACARF is honored to be supported by Iola Senior Citizens,” said Art Chapman, ACARF board president. “We really appreciate their efforts.”
“It’s a very worthy cause,” Hess said of the low-kill animal shelter which opened quietly this month. A grand opening will be scheduled at a later date, Chapman added.
