NORTH LIMA, Ohio – Sheely’s Furniture and Appliance announced Monday that its second-quarter fundraising drive raised $8,055 for Believe in Dreams.

Sheely’s presented a check to the organization July 19 at the store’s Aurora location.

In our 70-plus years in business in the region, giving back to our community is always in the forefront of why we do what we do. Helping the region’s disadvantaged children is such an honor.”
