Patchogue-based nonprofit Harmony Cafe, has started a raffle fundraiser with the goal of raising $5000.

Potential prizes vary, including prizes valued at over $100, as well as a variety of gift certificates.

Harmony Cafe was founded in 2016 by Rosemary McCarthy, a Patchogue resident. The organization's mission is to bring healthier food options and wellness education to underserved people. Harmony Cafe uses a pay-what-you-can donation model and offers delicious, healthy foods as part of their bustling, judgment-free meal events.

Funds raised by their raffle will go towards their New Wellness Education Program, meant to further their mission by providing for low-income parents through healthy food education, cooking classes, and group support. This new 12-week program is set to start in September of 2021.

You can learn more about Harmony Cafe on their website, as well as keep up to date with their Facebook. To read about their raffle and to donate, visit their Donorbox page.
