The New Waterford Outreach Program launched a fundraiser this past week in efforts of raising funds for the program.
The group will be selling tickets on a floor model jewelry chest.The idea for the jewelry chest came as a suggestion from a member of the group, said coordinator Raylene Scattolon.
It's a beautiful piece of craftsmenship, she said.
"It was hand crafted by a member of the New Waterford community. It's truly a unique piece that any women would love to have in their home."
The New Waterford outreach program raises awareness for those with mental illness, suffering a personal loss or social isolation from the community.
Money raised from the fundraiser will go directly to the program to help support activities for group members and promote social integration, said Scattolon.
"We are trying to bring awareness and stop the stigma regarding mental health. Our members enjoy participating in community events and social activities, and this fundraiser will help make the activities possible."
The draw date for the jewelry chest is Thursday, June 4.
Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and can be purchased at the New Waterford Community Press office or the New Waterford Post Office.
