ANN ARBOR – Avalon Housing, a provider of supportive housing in Washtenaw County, will be holding its annual Home for Good fundraiser at Zingerman's Cornman Farms in Dexter on Oct. 12.

For some artists, it will be their first-ever piece of art; others bring 40 years of creating to the event. While their backgrounds may vary, all are excited to give back to Avalon and share their artwork with the community.
Half of the auction proceeds will go to Avalon support services, and the other half will go to the artists themselves.
"At Avalon a big part of what we do is community building," said Avalon's Executive Director Aubrey Patiño in a statement. "We get our residents involved in activities like creative arts programs to help them connect to the community around them. This year’s art show will not only raise essential funds for Avalon, but it’s also bringing neighbors together. Home for Good is a great way for people to see Avalon’s mission in action and see how supportive housing changes people’s lives for the better."
Guests can expect a strolling dinner with catering from Zingerman's Roadhouse.
