Project Mend-A-House hosts the 14th Annual Taste of the Town
Sample delicious food from over 25 local restaurants at our 14th annual Taste of the Town Dinner and Fundraiser for Project Mend-A-House
Project Mend-A-House would like to invite you, your family, your friends and your neighbors to join us at our 14th annual Taste of the Town dinner and fundraiser. This event will showcase culinary specialties from some of Prince William County’s best restaurants and will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at 6:30 pm at the VFW Post 1503, located at 14631 Minneville Road, Woodbridge, VA 22193.
For a donation of $30 per person, you will be able to sample delicious foods from more than twenty-five of our favorite local restaurants. This fundraiser offers great food, entertainment and provides support for PMAH’s home repair and home modification program, which serves Prince William County, the City of Manassas and Manassas Park communities. Jennifer Schock-Bolles, the Executive Director, stated “It is such a great opportunity for us to bring together our partners and the community for an evening of fantastic food and fellowship”. Tickets can be purchased on the PMAH website here.
Part of this event will include the judging of our “Build-A-House” Contest. Individuals, families, or teams of up to five people can purchase a kit (donation of $25) and build a house of craft sticks. The kit contains 250 craft sticks, a foam core board (10” x 15”) and a container of glue. The building will be judged on structural integrity, creativity and neatness. There will also be fan favorites and honorable mentions. The houses will be the centerpieces of each of the tables. Barbara Reese of BR Associates, the contest sponsor, said this is a wonderful family project. “We hope that this project will bring families together to do something fun and also something that benefits the community.” To get your kit, call the PMAH office at 703-792-7663. You may pick up your kit @ 5 County Complex Ct, Suite 285, Woodbridge, VA 22192 or have it delivered. More details and a registration can also be found here.
Proceeds from this fundraiser go to support our mission of providing free home repairs to low-income residents, seniors, veterans and persons with disabilities living in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park thus allowing them to live safely and independently in their homes.
