I discovered this fundraising event while reading the local newspaper this morning.
The Mental Health America of Franklin County is "dedicated to promoting mental health in Franklin County through advocacy, education and support services." On their web site there are all kinds of links offering information, resources and support, both local and national.
They are currently hosting an online auction. New items are added every day under 26 different categories. While there are items listed best taken advantage of by people who live or are willing to visit locally, don’t let that stop you from taking a look. How about bidding on a one week stay in a "cottage" on the Outer Banks. Prefer a Florida vacation? How about a stay in a townhouse condo in the Florida Keys? There are also books, gift cards and many other items to choose from that could easily be shipped.
Mother’s Day is coming up. Find a gift for Mom and support an important cause. Just a thought…
