KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Community Homeworks will hold its fifth-annual Furnace Fest fundraiser Friday night at Boatyard Brewing.
Boatyard co-founder Brian Steele said they’ll be serving up special beers, including the Scottish ale “Gimme Shelter.”
“It has this flavor of almost autumn or winter, and those are the season where the customers of Community Homeworks need the most help,” Steele said.
Shaun Wright, the executive director of Community Homeworks, said the event is one of the non-profit’s biggest fundraisers.
“Our mission is to empower low-income families to maintain safe, sustainable and dignified housing,” Wright said. “We do that through three core programs — one is education, one is critical repair, and the other is weatherizing and energy efficiency.”
The event will feature food, beer and music. It starts at 6 p.m.
