Encore Raises Money, Awareness at Apple n' Pork Festival

In years past, if you purchased a lemon shakeup on the grounds of the CH Moore Homestead grounds, you were supporting the efforts of the VFW, but this year Encore Developmental Services took over the booth.

 

Executive Director Stephanie Coonce felt the weekend was a great way to raise awareness about everything Encore does for some of the most vulnerable in our community and they were giving ten percent off coupons hoping for more visitors to the thrift store.

 

 

Money raised from this past month's Apple n' Pork Festival went into the day services program for Encore. Coonce explains that is a program that gives their clients the skills to get a job and then maintain employment.

 

 

If Encore did not have the Apple n' Pork Festival, they would have to continue to seek out grant funding and other smaller fundraisers. Coonce indicates the festival offers them a great opportunity to raise a good sum of money.

 

 

Coonce indicates the Apple n' Pork Festival will become the biggest fundraiser for Encore Developmental Services and they hope to be back again next year.
