(Le Mars) — Schuster’s Trucking Company of Le Mars presented a check in the amount
of $25,000 this morning to the Le Mars Area Betterment Foundation as part of the
Community Betterment project. The donation is part of the local trucking company’s
financial committment of $175,000 over the next seven years. Steve Schuster,
president and owner of the Schuster Trucking Company says the company is fortunate
to be based in a growing community.

Schuster’s employ more than 400 people and operate a fleet of more than 375 trucks.
This is the second time the local trucking firm has contributed to the Community
Betterment Project. Steve Schuster says the truck company also stepped forward the
first time of the Betterment Project.

check. Donlin says he is appreciative of Schuster’s leadership and financial
committment. He says the financial pledge will help with recruiting efforts of
other community businesses.

is over half way to meeting the challenge of $2 and a half million established
initially by Wells Enterprises.

to receive donations and contributions from individuals to go towards the community
betterment project.
