(Michigan City, IN) - The Salvation Army in Michigan City has a fund raising auction coming up.

The Light the Path Auction will take place on Thursday, August 8 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Uptown Social at 907 Franklin Street.

 

The event benefits Pathway of Hope, an intense case management program that helps break the cycle of generational poverty.

“We work closely, one-on-one with families who are ready to make a change within the family unit and are ready to become more self-sufficient,” said Major Becky Simmons, who oversees The Salvation Army of Michigan City, along with her husband, Major Dale Simmons.

The focus of the program includes meeting educational goals or mental health needs along with help finding employment, child care and housing.

 

“The goal of this program is to help vulnerable families overcome whatever barriers are preventing them from achieving self-sufficiency and put the entire family on a path toward a more successful future,” Simmons said.
 

Individual tickets to the Light the Path Auction are $50 and are available at salarmy.us/lightthepath2024.  Sponsorship packages start at $150.

 

The event will include live and silent auctions, as well as a fashion show featuring local celebrities.

 

Auction items include two patron level tickets to the PNW Sinai Forum, South Shore Line posters, gift baskets, gift certificates, and experiences from local businesses and organizations.
 

There will also be catered food and a cash bar.
