Great Grape Escape to benefit non-profit agency

The Roger Robach Community Center at Ontario Beach Park, Charlotte, will transform into a wonderland of wine, cheese, artisan bread, honey and chocolate tasting on Saturday, December 10 for a Great Grape Escape event open to the community.

Hosted by Victory Road Inc., a non-profit community outreach organization based in Greece, the taste of the trail festivities, set for 2 to 6 p.m., will feature samples from 20 Finger Lakes wineries and ten other vendors who will offer tastes of their specialties. In addition, there will be hourly drawings and a silent auction.

Tickets, at $40 per person or $70 a couple, are available at www.iamvictorious.life or by calling 351-4786.

All proceeds will benefit Victory Road, an organization that provides support to children, youth and their families. The Victory Road team has partnered and formed working relationships with corporations, local businesses, churches, the medical community and the local school system to offer a variety of programs.

Some include Momma Care, a support program for young moms and moms-to-be; Creator’s Workshop, designed to offer an outlet for crafts and companionship for neighborhood children; an after-school homework help program for youth and the TitleWave Book Club for young readers. Future programs in the planning stage include a Friday night coffee house and open mic night, marriage and relationship mentors, family friendly events and more.

It is the goal of the Victory Road Team to provide early intervention to those in need of some support and direction in their lives.  Victory Road is an outgrowth of Petra Place Counseling Services of Greece.
