Because of the fabulous registration for the October 1 event, and our chronic inability to stop networking, we've added a few additional agencies to the list of those we'll serve: Camp Sunshine and the Macatawa Greenway Partnership.
And we're ready to say more about the recipient of the proceeds from the silent auction and raffle, too. The Holland Free Health Clinic provides health services to the poor and uninsured in our community. They provide or coordinate prescription medication, diabetic supplies, and dental and eye care for folks at or below 200% of the federal poverty level who have no health coverage from any source. They've just published their mid-year report on services, which shows that the number of new applicants seeking services has increased 50% each year for the last two years.
We're happy to support this good work, with the support of artists and craftswomen who donate their work for the raffle and auction, and then the support of participants who come prepared with their wallets and checkbooks. (Please note we're not able to accept credit or debit cards.)
Can't wait for October 1! Check back for photos and descriptions of the raffle and auction items.
