ANSWER: Rural Community Action Ministry’s Annual Auction 4 Action is the organization’s major fundraiser. Money is used to help low-income rural families in crisis and at risk of becoming homeless or food insecure.

This year, with high inflation, requests for help have increased dramatically, as people are struggling to make rent or mortgage payments, put food on the table, and pay for basic necessities while also facing unemployment, isolation, and lack of access to many services.

Now, more than ever, vulnerable rural families need RCAM’s help. Reaching their fundraising goal will help them help others and every dollar counts.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Here is another place for alterations to add to your files: Beal’s Cleaners & Laundromat at 51 Hampshire St. in Auburn, 784-8581.
