Officials with the Serenity House of Clallam County held “The Art of Ending Homelessness,” their first fundraiser in 13 years, on May 21 in Sequim — where area artists donated an array of creations in support of the nonprofit.
At least $11,000 was raised during the evening with about 95 guests in attendance to both foster and recognize the past progress of the Serenity House.
