The Extended Arms Project is excited to announce its second annual “Labor of Love” fundraising event in DeKalb County with a goal of helping the homeless and less fortunate.
The non-profit will host a dinner and auction on February 22 at the County Complex located at 712 S. Congress Boulevard starting with a meal of soup and chili at 4 p.m. and an auction at 5 p.m. Admission is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children ages 10 and younger.
The Extended Arms Project, a division of Young Harmony, Inc., is a non-profit organization with a mission of aiding the underprivileged with physical, emotional and inspirational needs.
“We inspire and give hope by reminding others of their self-worth, one individual at a time. For those who need help, we provide necessities such as sleeping bags, hygiene products, gift cards for food, temporary shelter and more,” said Wanda Redmon, Grant Director for the Extended Arms Project.
“You may show your support for the effort by donating or helping to sponsor the event. We are seeking support through donations, goods, McDonalds gift cards, etc as well as food for the dinner including chili, soup, and desserts. All items or monetary gifts donated go entirely toward the Extended Arms Project to help others,” added Redmon.
Donations may include toboggans, backpacks, gloves, scarves, bath towels, washcloths, shampoo, bath soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand lotion, razors, shaving cream, chap stick, socks, combs, brushes, and spoons, and more.
