The Ocracoke Health Center will hold its third Seafood Festival fundraising benefit from 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Berkley Barn.
To go with the local seafood will be live music and silent and live auctions. Proceeds will benefit the health center.
Activities begin at 2 p.m. with a silent auction until 5 p.m.
Food will be served from 3 to 5 p.m. A live auction will begin at 6 p.m. followed by music by the Ray McAllister Band.
The Ocracoke Health Center is a community owned and operated, private non-profit with 501c3 designation. In order to survive, it merged a few years ago with the Engelhard Clinic on the mainland and became a federally qualified health center.
While that union allowed both centers to receive federal funding, still, it does not cover all of the health center’s expenses.
If you are interested in donating items for the silent or live auction or being a sponsor or volunteering, please contact the Health Center: noneal@ocracokehealthcenter.org or send a text message to 252-588-2246.
Those who can’t attend the festival and wish to help can send donations by mail to P.O. Box 543, Ocracoke, NC 27960.
