CARNEGIE, Pa., July 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For nearly 90 years The Salvation Army has been supporting Carnegie and the surrounding communities with comprehensive social services. This year, the Service Center is struggling to fund its food pantry as well as the many other programs and assistance that they provide. The local Bottom Dollar store had been a huge source of food for the pantry. When it went out of business, the food pantry lost $16,000 and still needs to continue to meet the needs of the community on a daily basis. Director of the center, Kelly Melfi, remarked, "We need to raise this money, so let's have fun while we do it!" With that, the idea for the "FUN-raiser" was born.

The Salvation Army's "FUN-raiser" is a Carnival geared towards adults that will be held at The Carnegie Coffee Company, 132 East Main Street in Carnegie from 7 pm to 10 pm on Saturday, July 25^th. Please plan to join us there for a night you won't forget! There will be unlimited food, coffee and shakes, as well as games and prizes to win. Entertainment includes: a magician and balloon artist, face, henna and caricatures artists, and the highlight of the evening: a professional hula-hooper who uses a fire covered hoop! Come and play the games, because everyone's a winner—especially the needy in the community! Tickets are $50 (with a portion being tax deductible) and are limited, so be sure to get yours today because this is an event not to miss!
