Crisis Center, Pump & Pantry team up for fundraiser

Area Pump & Pantry stores are helping to raise funds for the Crisis Center by selling Valentine balloons Monday through Thursday this week.

Helium-filled latex balloons will be available for $2 each or two for $3. Sponsorships from local businesses helped lower the cost of the 1,000 balloons for sale this year.

Proceeds from balloon sales will be donated to the Crisis Center shelters for families of domestic violence or sexual assault.

Balloons can be purchased at all Grand Island Pump & Pantry locations, as well as Pump & Pantry stores in Cairo, Chapman, Aurora, St. Paul, Doniphan, Central City and St. Libory.

The Crisis Center serves families in Hall, Howard, Hamilton and Merrick counties.
