What does it mean to Fund-A-Need?

This year, at our Saturday, April 15, Trivia Night, we will be fundraising for both necessity and fun! During the event, we will have a Fund-A-Need auction that will give attendees the opportunity to provide the children at the new Contact Center with clean water, a multi-day discovery trip for 25 older children, and a much-loved Contact Center field trip to the Fun Park that will include pizza and ice cream.  Although the auction will take place during the event, you can donate to the Fund-A-Need anytime before, during, or after the event here:
