Cherokee County GA issued the following announcement on Aug. 24.
Cherokee County Senior Services and the Volunteer Aging Council teamed up on Aug. 20 to host a hot dog luncheon fundraiser to provide emergency assistance to senior citizens in the county.
The annual fundraising event was held at the Senior Center on Univeter Road in Canton. Organizers sold more than 150 hotdog plates at $5 each raising $850 for the VAC’s Last Stop program.
“We are thrilled with the turnout for this year’s hot dog fundraiser,” said Cherokee County Senior Services Resource Coordinator and VAC Volunteer De Gale. “With the money raised, we will be able to help out several seniors needing assistance.”
The Last Stop program is a financial assistance program that provides emergency assistance when all other means have been exhausted. Financial assistance may include rental assistance, minor medical costs, utilities and temporary housing.
“I want to thank all of those who donated and participated in this event,” said Cherokee County Senior Services Director Tim Morris. “Their contributions will have a large impact on our seniors.”
The VAC works in conjunction with Cherokee County Senior Services to create fundraising events and gather support from private donors, local organizations and businesses in Cherokee County to raise funds to help low-income seniors and senior veterans who are not currently covered by programs already in place.
