By Rosalind Russell – The Coldest Month of Year raffle is now underway to support a men’s shelter in Elliot Lake.
Maplegate spokesperson Lynn Thompson says the raffle has over $4,000 in prizing including an ice-fishing package valued at $2,500 and a self-care prize pack at $1,000.
She says Larry’s Place has no permanent funding sources, so the generosity of the public and the fundraiser will go a long way to assist the shelter.
Thompson says they were able to assist 130 men in 2022 alone.
She adds the tickets are $10 each with the draw taking place February 6th.
The tickets are available at different businesses and at Maplegate.
