Quixote Village fundraiser event in Shelton Sept. 30

The second annual Quixote Communities’ Tiny Homes Big Future Celebration fundraiser is hosted from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 30 at The Pavilion, 190 W. Sentry Drive in Shelton.

Quixote Communities has three villages for homeless people, including one devoted to local veterans that recently opened in Shelton.

At the event, the nonprofit will thank its 2023 Partners of the Year: Mason County VFW Post 1694, Mason County VFW Post 1694 Auxiliary and the Puget Sound Veterans Hope Center. April Pooler and Garrett Ratfield are the group’s 2023 Champions of the Year.

Admission is $50, which includes food from Kern’s Kitchen, two complimentary beverages, music by DJ David and a commemorative glass. All the proceeds go toward providing permanent housing and supportive services to previously homeless residents at Quixote Communities. Services include case management, transportation, care coordination, behavioral health services, life skills classes and housing stability.
