Adopt A House Fundraiser Extravaganza

Adopt A House be hosting a large scale fundraiser and fun-for-all family
event on Sunday, October 6! They will be running a booth at the
Lindenhurst Oktoberfest event. The festivities will kick off at 12:00 and run until
5:00.

Kids can come meet Mickey and have them have their picture
taken with him for free- he'll be giving out halloween treats and
balloons! Kids (or adults!) can enjoy and exercise their creativity by
painting their own pumpkin to take home for a nominal fee, or have their
face painted or get a free professional temporary tattoo.

The
big draw will be a Raffle/Chines Auction of thousands of dollars of
INCREDIBLE packages, gift certificates, gift cards, services, tickets to
local attractions, an Android Tablet and much, much, more. All proceeds
will go directly to the affected families int the area, many of whom
are still displaced or in dire need of assistance in rebuilding their
homes and purchasing supplies, furniture, replacing household items and
more.

Adopt A House is still accepting donations for the fundraiser to raffle off. They can be contacted at victoria@adoptahouse.org.

Adopt
A House looks forward to everyone's participation for what is to be not
only an enjoyable and fun time, but also a huge fund-generating event
to get financial assistance and help to the families who are still
struggling a year later.

Adopt A House is a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization that was founded three days after SuperStorm Sandy hit Long
Island. With currently 537 registered families that they are helping
get back on their feet and helping to rebuild our local community by
providing resources, supplies, financial assistance, support, logistical
information, panel discussions, programs, mental health assistance,
events and solutions to local affected families. Adopt A House has
become a pivotal force in providing support for area residents. Their
collective vision is to help each and every home in our area recover
and, while ambitious, they are dedicated to making that happen. Th
organization is based in Lindenhurst, and while many of the families are
Lindenhurst residents, they also serve families from surrounding towns
and areas, such as Babylon, Copaigue, Massapqua, Amityville and several
other towns. Some of the affected families are still living in hotels,
at the homes of relatives, or in half-finished homes. Some have had to
walk away from their homes entirely due to mold and the lack of funds to
rebuild. They hope to be able to, through our fundraiser, help as many
of them with their needs as they can.
