The “Round Up” program, which asked customers of local stores to donate their change to the Soboleff-McRae Veterans Village and Wellness Center, raised about $3,000 for the project.
Nine businesses participated in the program, which ran from Oct. 7 to Dec. 31. Cashiers asked customers whether they wanted to “round up” their purchase total to the nearest dollar, with the change benefiting development of the Veterans Village currently under construction on Second Avenue and Dalton Street.
