The Herman Prior Centre held a barbecue fundraiser Friday for their efforts with Portage la Prairie seniors. Executive director Hope Faschoway shares what it means for her to be involved in their efforts.

"Just basically to bring awareness to the centre. We're letting everyone know we are here. We work hard for our seniors and ensure they have programs and activities. Fundraisers such as the barbecue really help to ensure we do have those extra funds to continue our programs and activities for the seniors in our community."

She notes the event inspires many questions from those who attend.

"We actually get a lot of random different questions. We get asked about the different programs and activities we offer. We get asked about a lot of different stuff -- activities, programs hours, different fundraisers we have, different volunteer opportunities -- people are very interested in that."
