3rd Annual Harvest of Hope Strengthens Local Safety Net
Willimantic, CT (10/16/2017) — The Windham Area Interfaith Ministry is bracing itself for a challenging year. Between state funding cuts and a persistent, if not growing, need for services, WAIM expects to continue to be a safety net for those who are unable to receive help elsewhere.
One of the ways WAIM raises funds to support its mission is through a variety of special events, including the upcoming Harvest of Hope on October 21 from 5-8 pm., co-hosted by Willimantic Waste Paper Co. This special evening will offer wine selections by High Spirits and tasty Cafemantic hors d'ouevres in the beautiful setting of the Spring Hill Inn, 957 Storrs Rd., Storrs. The Earl MacDonald Jazz Trio will perform and there will be a silent auction.
"So many people depend on WAIM, so we have to do all we can to assure that they get the help they need when they need it most," says WAIM Board Chair and event organizer, Jodi Walenciewecz. "The Harvest of Hope is a fun way to support a great cause. It's a win-win for everyone!"
Tickets are available at waimct.org or call (860) 456-7270 x11. This promises to be another outstanding evening. Please come to support the mission of WAIM.
