Junior Achievement aims to teach young people about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship by connecting local volunteers to teach our curriculum in the local schools. We have specialized material for each grade level, with each year building on the prior. This comes at little to no cost to the schools so without the communities help this would not be possible.
Lagro Canal Foundation
Lagro Canal Foundation (LCF) has been busy making a difference in the town of Lagro! During the first three years of its existence the focus was on three downtown historical buildings. After completing the restoration of the exteriors of those buildings, a local developer purchased them and is finishing the interiors for businesses and apartments. The current focus of LCF includes renovating two additional buildings in downtown Lagro, supporting others in the reclamation of deserted houses in Lagro and collaborating with the Town of Lagro and new business owners to plan seasonal events in the community. Come to Lagro to visit the new businesses and investigate investment opportunities. And support the ongoing work being done by Lagro Canal Foundation with your vote.

Wabash County Animal Shelter
Wabash County Animal Shelter is a small nonprofit tasked with the huge responsibility of providing care to the homeless dogs and cats of Wabash County. We rely heavily on donations from the public to provide a safe caring environment for these animals until they find a home. Unfortunately, we do not have the extra funds to make much needed repairs to our kennels or our parking area and walkways into the building and our garage is in dire need of being sealed against outside elements. Please help us get these repairs completed by voting for the Wabash County Animal Shelter!!
Wabash County United Fund – Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Wabash County United Fund has committed to launching Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) for all children from birth to age 5 in Wabash County. At no cost to the family, each qualified, registered child within the household is mailed one free, high quality, age-appropriate book directly from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to expand literacy growth and encourage bonding between parent/guardian and child. Currently, Indiana State Library coordinates the state-wide expansion program of DPIL and provides the state’s match of 50% of the local program cost. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has never been offered in Wabash County, but has been successful in all surrounding counties for years. With the support of the Wabash County community, we can unite to create a path to academic success, encourage imagination and creativity, and cultivate a lifelong love of reading.
