The Young County Greater Good Project is helping the Elliott family after their house on Colorado. Ave. caught ablaze on Feb. 26.
The Greater Good Project is working on partnering with Xcalibur Container to raffle off a storage container. Tickets will be sold for $20 at Neri’s on the Square, Norman’s Cleaners or through the Young County Greater Good Facebook page according to Ventura Monrreal, YCGGP co-founder.
“They are in pretty well desperate need of all the help they can get right now,” Monrreal said. “(…) We spoke to some of our friends and contacts here in town and the area. We decided to do a different kind of fundraiser, to put a different twist on things.”
The house, at 200 Colorado Ave., caught fire around 2:30 a.m. last Tuesday. Graham Fire Department Chief Jerry David said he believed the cause of the fire was heat lamps set out for the family’s dogs.
