The Oneota Community Food Co-op says its "Round-Up at the Register" campaign earlier this month has raised over $2,100, including matching $250 donations from Decorah Bank & Trust Co. and the Oneota Co-op.

The money will be given to support Winneshiek County Habitat for Humanity, which since 1992 has built 31 homes in the communities of Burr Oak, Hesper, Calmar, Castalia, Decorah, Freeport, Ossian, Spillville, and Ridgeway. Houses are provided with a 25-year interest-free mortgage through the HFH organization. Each adult family member is also required to give 150 volunteer hours towards the project.
