You can donate in person or online to the Jonathan and Katie Martinez fund at Crosswinds Church in Spirit Lake, or by stopping by or mailing a check to the State Bank Post Office Box 68 in Terril.

Jonathan Martinez is the school guidance counselor at Harris Lake Park, and the couple has three young children.
