United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) has stepped up to offer a financial boost to seven different community groups in the Village of Delburne.

Officials with HWY 21 Corridor Crime Watch say $10,000 was donated by Miller Petroleum UFA at the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner April 16 to help support ongoing activities for the chosen groups.

Among those groups was the HWY 21 Corridor Crime Watch Society which received a donation of $2,000.

“Rural Crime affects us all, this donation is an example of what can be accomplished when municipalities, business, law enforcement and citizens work together towards a common goal,” says Ray Miller, Chair of the HWY 21 Corridor Crime Watch, in a press release. “These funds will be used to facilitate enhanced communication and evidence collection with the Three Hills Detachment of the RCMP.”
