Culver's dedicates Wednesday to aid tornado victims

[December 10, 2013]  This Wednesday, Dec. 11, the local Culver's restaurant will join with other Culver's stores around the state to participate in a day of giving to benefit recent tornado victims.

According to local store owner and manager Elaine Aue, 10 percent of the entire day's receipts will be donated to tornado victims in the Washington area.

In addition, the store is collecting items to assist families and volunteers during the cleanup and recovery. Aue said specifically they are hoping to collect daily hygiene products such as soap, shampoo and toothpaste for victims, along with nonperishable food items.

In addition, Aue said there is a need for hats and gloves for the volunteers who are helping with the cleanup efforts, and she is hopeful that folks will also bring in those types of donations on Wednesday.

After the collection of needed items, Aue will personally deliver them to collection centers in the Washington area.
