West Central Missouri Community Action Agency, with the best interest of the public and the safety of the communities that they serve, have decided to move away from an in-person Festival of Charity this year. While they were so excited to welcome everyone to join them for an evening of fun and charity, they have decided to pivot toward another option. With COVID-19 cases on the rise in southern Missouri and an overall increase for the state, they are moving to a series of online opportunities for the week of August 2, all leading up to the Raffle for a Cause LIVE drawing that will be held on both YouTube live and Facebook Live on August 5 at noon. They hope you can join them virtually and check out the videos they will be releasing all during that week.
