🚨 TODAY, JULY 21st is the LAST day to donate to the Patronicity campaign! 🚨

We are so close to the goal of raising $50,000 to unlock a $50,000 match to help fund ADA restrooms at Warvel Park!

Here is the link to donate: https://www.patronicity.com/project/more_memories_more_manchester #!/

🚨 Tomorrow is the Final Day! 🚨

Cooling Station Available Today

With the heat and humidity settling in, the Town of North Manchester Public Safety Office will have its doors open as a cooling station from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM for anyone who needs a place to get out of the heat.

Please take care of yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your pets during this hot weather.

A few ways to beat the heat:

*Drink plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty
*Stay indoors or in the shade when possible
*Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing
*Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle
*Bring pets inside and make sure they have fresh water
*Check on elderly neighbors, loved ones, and anyone who may not have air conditioning

Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, including dizziness, heavy sweating, weakness, nausea, or confusion

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and don’t be afraid to step into the cool air if you need a break from this thick Indiana summer heat.

We have just under one month to the deadline for raising funds with Manchester Alive: Main Street Chamber Alliance for ADA restrooms at Warvel Park! So far, $37,225 of the $50,000 has been raised. Once we hit the $50,000 goal, we receive a matching grant of $50,000!

Donating is easy- here's the link: https://www.patronicity.com/project/more_memories_more_manchester #!/

We're officially more than halfway there, in dollars and duration!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we've raised $37,200 toward our $50,000 Patronicity goal. Every donation is bringing us one step closer to creating a space that will serve residents, visitors, families, and businesses for years to come.

This project is about creating a welcoming space where families gather, friends connect, events come to life, and memories are made. It's an investment in the people who call North Manchester home and in everyone who visits our community.

If you've already donated, thank you. If you haven't yet, there's still time to be part of something truly meaningful. This campaign closes July 18!

💚 Please consider making a contribution today.
💚 Every dollar counts.
💚 Please share this post to help us reach more people.

Together, we can reach our goal and make this vision a reality.
