Safe Passage of Taylorville is set to hold a dinner and silent auction and invite the community out to support the many services for local citizens who struggle with addiction. The event is set for Saturday, November 16th at 6:00 p.m. at the VFW in Taylorville.

Denise Evans, Coordinator for Safe Passage says local businesses have gotten involved providing a range of items to be auctioned off.

Safe Passage is powered by grant funds, grants that have been difficult to come by and be accepted for. Despite lessening grant funds Safe Passage has been able to maintain an average of 20 citizens serviced a month, with coverage from treatment and employment, to regaining custody of children and finding a home.

Taylorville’s VFW is located at 515 North West Avenue in Taylorville.
