BELFAST — Waldo Community Action Partners raised more than $6,000 last month and met a challenge from donors who matched the gifts.

Donors provided the impetus for the winter fundraising challenge, with gifts of $100-$1,000. Nearly three dozen businesses and individuals contributed to WCAP to meet the match.
