The figures are in for the Portage Plains United Way's 2016 fundraising drive. Mandy Dubois, executive director, says they fell a little short this time around.

"Portage Plains United Way once again received incredible support from our community during our 2016 fundraising campaign. We were able to raise a total of $232,601.84. This is 94% of our fundraising goal."

She explains it's quite incredible to see a community our size donate over $232,000 in the amount of time it did. Dubois adds, however, it does mean the 11 member agencies will get just a little less than they requested.
