Local merchants donate to charity

"Our businesses are doing ok now. A lot of people in the community aren't doing so well and are hungry and needy and so businesses have chosen charities to support," said merchant, Julianne Saltzer.

Business owners are selecting charities that have special meaning and designing a donation program.

Some will be collecting food and donating grocery gift cards to needy organizations. While, others will be donating a portion of this month and next month's sales.

Debra Egert, owner of On A Mission, will be collecting food and donating grocery gift cards to the Jocelyn Senior Center.
