Last month, the Starke County Sheriff’s Department held a fundraiser in conjunction with national ‘No Shave November’ campaign. They gathered a total of $3,700 and donated it to local schools to pay off negative lunch account balances.
The Department raised $2,800 more this year than they did when they held this fundraiser back in 2018.
Sheriff’s Department officials shared that the money was divided between the Knox, North Judson-San Pierre, Oregon-Davis and Culver Community School Corporations. They noted that a number of Starke County students from North Bend and California Townships attend Culver which is why they chose to include them this year.
Officials extended their gratitude to the community members who donated to this cause which is often times overlooked and added that the smiles on the kids’ faces was worth it all.

Starke County elementary school students in need of some financial assistance recently benefited from a fundraising effort through the Sheriff’s Department.
Last month, the Starke County Sheriff’s Department participated in “No Shave November.” Staff members were permitted to grow out their facial hair and residents were able to make donations essentially “sponsoring” an officers’ beard and mustache.
The purpose of the fundraiser was to gather some money to help pay off negative lunch accounts at the Oregon-Davis, Knox and North Judson-San Pierre Elementary Schools. Sheriff Bill Dulin said no child should go hungry just because of their economic status.
The Department managed to raise a total of $900 and donated $300 to each school district.
On their Facebook Page, Starke County Sheriff’s Department officials publically thanked everyone in the community for their donations to this often overlooked cause. They noted that the smiles on the faces of the kids was worth it all.
