Adrian, MI – A tragic fire in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 24th, temporarily closed Associated Charities of Lenawee and derailed their Back-to-School program. In response, WLEN and WQTE Radio stations immediately addressed their need for funds with a curbside collection of monetary donations and gift cards. The drive lasted 2 days, ending today (Thursday) at the radio studios in downtown Adrian.
In less than 48 hours, $70,584 in cash and gift cards was collected, and will be distributed in the form of gift cards to families this Friday and Saturday to purchase needed back to school clothing, shoes and supplies. Families will be notified by Associated Charities as to day, time and location for pick up. Stay tuned to 103.9 WLEN for additional information on this story.
