TOANO — The Jenna Bash Festival, an annual fundraiser to raise money for those with economic hardships, will be held on Saturday.
The 17th annual festival is held in the name of Jenna Grace King, a 17-year-old New Kent teen who died in a car accident in 2008. Proceeds from the event support Proclaiming Grace Outreach, which provides food, clothing and other services to disadvantaged people in New Kent County and upper James City County.
The festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at LifePointe Christian Church in Toano, featuring live music, kids’ games, inflatables, a water slide, a silent auction, a bake sale, food by Holy Smoke and vendors. The New Kent Humane Society will be on site with adoptable pets. There will also be a butterfly release.
A $5 parking donation to support the food pantry is appreciated.
Proclaiming Grace Ministries is supported by churches, civic groups and multiple individuals to offer a food pantry, thrift store, home repairs, car repairs and scholarships to the community.
LifePointe Christian Church is located at 8841 Richmond Road in Toano. For more information or to adopt a butterfly, visit pgova.org/jenna-bash-festival.
