WAIM hosts a variety of annual events in order to raise awareness about what we do, promote our work in the community, and, of course, to raise funds for our programs.

SUPER SUNDAY GRINDER SALE – Grinders are made by a team of volunteers at the First Baptist Church of Mansfield and distributed to member faith communities on the last weekend of January. This event raised approximately $2,500.

SPRING FLING – This year’s benefit dance featured donated talent of two bands: Bruce John & Friends and John Hinckley and the Outriggers, plus food from Fred’s Brick Oven Pizza. Funds are raised through the sale of tickets and gift baskets which are donated by the Board of Directors and our member faith communities.

3rd THURSDAY STREET FESTS– Starting in 2003, participation in the Street Fest has become an annual event where Board members promote WAIM’s programs and activities.

TAG SALES AND AUCTIONS – These events are held periodically at the local flea market or through a local dealer. Special items that are donated but are not of practical use by our clients are sold to raise additional income for the organization.

MEMBER FAITH COMMUNITY FUND RAISING EVENTS – Several of WAIM’s member faith communities hold dinners, dances, walks and other events to benefit WAIM.
