We will have dancing, food, drinks, and a live auction.
Our 2024 Spring Fundraiser will be held on Friday, April 26 at the Fort William Henry, Carriage House from 6 to 10pm. Join us for Cocktails for Charity, a cocktail party, where we are asking our guests to dress in black and white attire (cocktail, not formal). Our cocktail party will feature an abundance of food, open bar for a portion of the night, Live Auction, dancing and a relaxed atmosphere to gather and talk with new and old friends.
With our event changing to a cocktail event, there will be no reserved seating with the regular tickets as we hope this will encourage people to mingle. Should you be interested in reserving a seat or a table, that option is available for an additional cost.
RSVP by Friday, April 5th. Invitations will be sent out in February and attendance is limited, so make your reservation early!
The Fort William Henry has offer us a discounted rate on rooms that evening, if you are interested in reserving a room that evening, please click the button below.
Celebrate with North Country Ministry in honoring Phyllis Meader; as we commemorate her commitment to the north country community, through her unwavering spirit of service. Phyllis is a Past President of the Board of Directors, long time board member, volunteer of almost 35 years, supporter of the Arts, mentor, mother, grandmother and friend to all.
Please join us in supporting Phyllis Meaders passion and service to the community, while honoring all of our volunteers with a $500 match to be concluded at our Spring Fundraiser, Cocktail for Chairty. The funds raised will go towards our Emergency Financial Assistance program that is provided to our community through our casework services.
Events like this support North Country Ministry’s programs and services, making it possible to help thousands of people each year.
In 2023 we served on average, almost 302 households a week through our food pantries, an average of 662 children, adults, and elderly individuals a month in our Clothing Center: while supporting and advocating for an average of 120 clients a month with our casework team. Our clients receive help with heat, rental assistance, electricity payments, emergency housing, and so much more. On average for 2023 we were giving out about $10,203 in emergency funding a month to help those in a crisis or individuals and families going through a hardship.
The Spring Fundraiser has traditionally been where the community comes together to raise not only funds to support our organization, but awareness for the programs and services we have to offer to our neighbors in need.
Our sponsorship opportunities have closed, if you are still interested in supporting our event, please contact Kayla at kayla@ncmfriends.com to see how we can make that happen!
