The Wendy’s at 1926 N Division St. in Morris has donated about $2,000 to the Grundy County Historical Society thanks to fundraising days that take place the first Friday of every month.

The next fundraising day will take place all day this Friday.

Ken Willis, Grundy County Historical Society Board Director, said the restaurant donates 30% of its sales for the entire day the first Friday of each month.

Willis said he appreciates the donations from Wendy’s and its manager, Megan Knight.
