Change for Change
This month, Change for Change will be held at Casa Del Ranchero with proceeds benefiting the Barberton Public Library.
Change for Change is sponsored by the City of Barberton and Mayor William B. Judge. Each month this fundraiser is held on behalf of a local non-profit and is designed to raise awareness of the group as well as collect donations for their cause. This event is open to the public between 4:30 - 7:00 p.m. and donation boxes can be found throughout the establishment that is hosting the event. This is a good opportunity to network, relax, and enjoy a good meal while supporting a meaningful cause.

Elizabeth Keckley, born in 1818 in Hillsborough, North Carolina, was an author, seamstress, and best friend to Mary Todd Lincoln. She was born a slave, and after she reached freedom, she started a school for young African American girls to teach them sewing and etiquette. Elizabeth presided as president and founder of the first Black Contraband Relief Association and wrote a tell-all book about the happenings in the White House during Lincoln’s tenure.
