The Dows Community Center will be the site for the signature fall fundraising event which will be held for Saturday, Nov. 21 from 5-10 p.m. The event raises money for the Clarion-based non profit Gift of Giving/Wright Community Connections (WCC).
WCC, a nonprofit on Main St. in Clarion, was recently recognized as the Non Profit of the Year by the Clarion Development Alliance. Their impact is reflected in the over 6,200 volunteer in-kind hours offered annually and hundreds of families served from across the region. Programs include seasonal resource distribution such as annual coat give away, back to school backpacks for families, seven week summer art program for youth, year around Fresh Pathways hydroponic production and more.
Guests can enjoy a local food passport trail, music performances by local talent, readings, and local artists who will showcase their work. There will also be a unique maker space where attendees can help transform repainted campaign signs into messages of caring in our communities. Participants will be able to take their completed signs home with them.
The event brings people of all ages together to celebrate the culture of an "Iowa that cares for their neighbors" and learn about the impact of Wright Community Connections' work serving children and families. I
Tickets are $30/person; $50/couple' $15/student – available online through Wright Community Connections website (www.wrightcommunityconnection.com). If you can't attend, consider making a donation by clicking "Donate" on Wright Community Connections website.
