Editor,

Thank you South Whidbey for your caring generosity. Last year you rounded up your change on purchases at Freeland Ace Hardware to donate to the Children’s Miracle Network.

We were proud to give Seattle Children’s Hospital a check for $7,263. Eighteen stores in our Western Washington region participated in this challenge.

Freeland Ace ranked third in total dollars collected which is an amazing testament to our beautiful community. Thank you, South Whidbey.
