(Michigan City, IN) - Nominations are being accepted to help a La Porte County senior citizen who has faced hardship in recent years.

 

The winner will receive an irrigation system valued at up to $3,000 for their home.  The Salvation Army of Michigan City is partnering with Hess Irrigation on the effort.

 

Michael Hess, owner of the company, said it’s a way of giving back to someone who has had a “tough time but continues to push forward.”

 

Nominees must be La Porte County residents at least 60 years of age.

 

Each nomination must come with a donation of $20 or more to the Salvation Army of Michigan City along with a short explanation of how the gift would benefit the individuals and a photo of the nominee.

 

Nominations will be accepted by email at hessirrigation@gmail.com through the end of September for selection in October.

 

Questions about the program can be directed to Hess Irrigation at (219) 380-7517.
