The money will go towards new non-profit housing.

“Housing is a complicated issue and there are many ideas out there. We know one thing for sure – we need to help those in need," said Rotary Club of Sarnia President Mark Taylor in a news release.

Over 250 people attended the inaugural event

“We’re delighted,” said co-organizer Heather Martin. “This shows how much this community cares about getting housing for people who need it.”
