Fundraiser to help Winning Wheels workers, Prophetstown-area merchants

PROPHETSTOWN – People can help area businesses and the front line staff at Winning Wheels by purchasing Main Street Bucks, which will be given to Winning Wheel staff to spend locally.

Financial and emotional support is crucial for area merchants and for Winning Wheels staff, who are working hard to meet the needs of their patients and their families.

Main Street Bucks are available in $10 increments. Send a check to: Main Street, 335 Washington St., Prophetstown, IL, 61277. Make checks payable to Main Street and put “WW” on the memo line.

Donations should be made as soon as possible; the plan is to distribute them next week in gift bags being assembled for Winning Wheels staff.

The board of directors of Winning Wheels, a residential care facility for people with physical and other disabilities, is organizing the effort; email Thomas Nance at Thomas Nance tnance1701@gmail.com for more information.
