Eastside Community Ministry Chair-ity Auction Approaching

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – A fundraiser that helps support numerous
community programs and services through an area agency will be taking
place next month in Zanesville. Eastside Community Ministry will host
their annual Chair-ity Auction on February 14 and 15 at the Colony
Square Mall. Jamie Trout, with Eastside Community Ministry, says all
proceeds go to benefit the social programs that Eastside provides
throughout the year.

“This is our
biggest fundraiser; so we are so excited. We have about fifty entry
forms that we’ve received—a lot of people calling; saying they’re
getting their stuff together for the auction. So, we’re just really
excited. We’re going to take chairs with incentive packages and
auction them off—and all of the money raised will come back to
Eastside to help with our programs.”

Chairs ranging from
bar stools to recliners and high chairs will be auctioned off with
incentive packages. Volunteers are needed for the auction and for
general programming at Eastside Community Ministry.

“We have our
emergency food pantry; and we also have our free clothing bank, our
emergency relief services, and our year-round youth program. Those
are our activities at Eastside. /// We definitely need volunteers—not
only for our Chair-ity Auction, but we are short on volunteers at
Eastside right now, too. So that would be great. Donations are
encouraged but also we need people to come out and bid on the items.”
