Tsunami relief funds raised at Dahl's stores
Volunteers from the Des Moines Radio Group and Mercy Medical Center braved the cold Friday to collect donations for tsunami relief at 11 metro-area Dahl's Food Mart locations.
In addition, coupons that customers could use to donate to the fund were available at Dahl's registers throughout the weekend.
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 347, which underwrote the cost of the drive, donated $10,000 to tsunami relief. Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino and Polk County matched that donation, along with all donations collected at Dahl's, leading to a $154,000 total.
The Des Moines Radio Group consists of six stations: KAZR-FM, KIOA-FM, KLTI-FM, KSTZ-FM, KRNT-AM and KPSZ-AM.
