Silver Valley, ID

Lets give props to Wal-Mart employees Tanya Ireland and Debbie Reece along with the Smelterville Wal-Mart who, working together, raised a total of $2,350 for Silver Valley kids and families in need this last fall 2007. Also to all of the Silver Valley residents who pitched in to keep us warm this winter.

A $1,000 grant is part of that $2,350 that Wal-Mart has committed to. Although all that money will go towards new coats, it does not include all the used coats and winter wear that was donated. Debbie stated that one Silver Valley woman dropped off 45 used coats!!! WOW!!!

That is one of the great things about this community, when there is any kind of need we all pull together and make it happen!!
