Check out the CHAIR-ity Auction for The Ladder

St. Stephens Lutheran Church in Shelby is hosting a CHAIR-ity Trail fundraiser for The Ladder Community Center. The chairs will be brought to the Shelby Fruit Festival for an auction event August 16 at 2 p.m. 
The CHAIR-ity Trail is a vibrant, walkable (and photoworthy) fundraiser featuring hand-painted Adirondack chairs on display at 12 local businesses. Each chair is a one-of-a-kind work of art, decorated by local artists and inspired volunteers. From whimsical to breathtaking, bold to hilarious, every chair has a story to tell. To access the CHAIR-ity Trail map, go to www.ststephensshelby.org and scroll to the “CHAIR-ity” section. Visit them all, snap a selfie and vote for your favorite on Facebook!
Auction proceeds benefit The Ladder, which provides a year-round safe space for youth and adults. In addition, The Ladder’s meal program provides food by donation for the adults in this community. Your support helps The Ladder serve Oceana County, so that this community thrives.
