Fashion Show Benefits Washington County Food Nonprofit

At a time when SNAP benefits are in peril, a sold-out fashion show benefit has raised more than $30,000 for Washington County nonprofit Food Helpers. The fashion show is 11 a.m. Sunday at Valley Brook Country Club and is hosted by County Commissioner Electra Janis. Money raised will benefit Food Helpers programs, including the Community Food Program, Senior Food Boxes and Little MOOCHI, which, together, provide nutritious meals and resources to thousands of families, children and seniors. Food Helpers also operates The Farm and the Healthy Habits Training Center, which helps people with long-term food security. “Food insecurity doesn’t just affect those facing it directly, it impacts the health and well-being of our entire community,” Janis said in a prepared statement.
