The Carman and District United Way will begin canvasing this weekend.


Chairperson Val Wiebe says they have set a goal of $45,000 but will not shoot for it.

 

She says this is because in previous years they have been unable to reach that amount and they are short of volunteers for this year.

 

Wiebe adds they are in need of 6 - 10 more volunteers for different areas.

 

She says areas without volunteers will not get canvased but can mail in donations.

 

Wiebe says this year they are fundraising for 17 agencies both national and local.

 

Canvasing will continue until October 31.
