The Depot Outlet has made a $5,000 donation to Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation's crisis fund.  The donation will enable NEICAC to assist low-income Winneshiek County households this winter when they are faced with the loss of heating fuel. 

Normally a LP vendor won't deliver less than a minimum fill of 250 gallons to a household.  However, such a delivery currently costs over $400.  The Depot Outlet's donation to NEICAC--the sixth straight year of the $5,000 donation--will allow a household to receive an "emergency minimum fill" for their LP tank.
