The Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County will host a fundraiser Saturday to raise money for the association’s Donation Fund.

The event is at the Frewsburg American Legion, 9 Meadow Lane, on Saturday, Feb. 21, from 6 to 10 p.m. Admission is free, with food and beverages available for purchase.

With donations from many local businesses, there will be raffles for at least 50 prizes of baskets and gift cards, as well as a 50/50 drawing.

Brian K. Chase and Daniel Nordin will perform live music.

The MHA supports individuals and families through recovery services, veteran support, prenatal care, job assistance and many more community support programs. Money raised at this event goes into the Donation Fund that directly assists the people MHA serves – for diapers, bus passes, clothing for work, food, haircuts, emergency housing, shoes, boots, and more.

“Basic needs aren’t luxuries,” said Jill Marsh, MHA finance director. “They’re the foundation of hope. When we meet basic needs, we restore dignity–and dignity changes lives.”

The event can also be supported by clicking on the green Donate button at MHAChautauqua.org.
