Youngstown event raises money to build homes for adults with autism
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Dylan's House hosted its third annual Sunday Funday at Penguin City Brewing Co.
The organization raises money to build houses for adults with autism. They're inching closer to their first build in Struthers and a second in Boardman.
On Sunday, they showed what one of the homes would look like. First News evening anchor Lindsey Watson was the emcee for the event.
Founder Amy Shope is grateful for the growing community support over the years.
'It's been unbelievable. Our very first fundraiser, we weren't sure if anyone would show up, and really, ever since then, people have been packing the house every time we have something,' Shope said.
All money from the event goes toward building more homes.
