Laughter, chatter, and a long table of donated items filled the room at the 4-H building Saturday evening. Organizations and individuals gathered to support the annual benefit dinner with Community Care of Northeast Indiana.

Jodi Holloway (left) who was up to the task as the live auction earned laughs — and over $16,000. Council member Chandler Gerber (right) also assisted.
Christine Walker, executive director of Community Care of Northeast Indiana, detailed a long list of critical resources the organization has provided to the community throughout the last year. Walker also announced a new campaign to raise $175,000 for the purchase of Hannah’s House.
Residents and staff at Hannah’s House also attended the event. A video testimony played for attendees as several women detailed their experiences with addiction and recovery. (Photos by Sydney Kent)
