Request from Johnson County CROP Walk

Johnson County CROP Walk needs your help!

"It is the time of year when we rally to pay off the reduced lunch deficit for Warrensburg School District.
The current balance is $1225 and is accruing about $14 each day.
The goal is to pay the balance by graduation so our Seniors will have no trouble getting their diplomas.
If you have questions or would like to assist, please contact Dough Christie or Erica Collins via Facebook or messenger, or email at Erica Collins johnsoncountycropwalk@hotmail.com.
Checks can be sent directly to Warrensburg R-6, POBox 638, with "Reduced lunch deficit" in the memo line.
Thank you in advance for once more helping us to take care of our own!"
