Family fun at Homebrew for the Homeless fundraiser

The Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless is holding their annual fundraiser, Homebrew for the Homeless, on Saturday, September 23 at the DDRC in Minden, Nevada from 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

This is a family-friendly event, presented in collaboration with Hops Envy, and will feature live music, a homebrew beer competition, Poker Run, chili cook-off as well as horseback rides, face painting lawn games and bounce house for children. There will also be food and non-alcoholic beverages. There will also be a silent auction.

All proceeds from the event will be used to support Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless. During the winter, Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless provides overnight refuge from the elements at the Warm Room. The Warm Room is a safe and warm environment for adult men and women who are experiencing homelessness.

“The Warm Room performs a vital role in our community, and we exist because of the generous financial and volunteer support that we’ve been so lucky to receive since our inception,” said Dr. Marissa Muscat, the organization’s executive director. “Homebrew for the Homeless is not just a fundraiser, but also a way for us to say ‘thank you’ to our supporters with a day of fun.”

“I love being a part of the Homebrew for the Homeless event,” says Dan Anderson, South Lake Tahoe resident and homebrewer. “With so many family-friendly activities, really good brews, and the opportunity to support this program that provides for the less fortunate -- it really is a great time for a great cause.”
