Ginny’s Helping Hand to host Second Annual Murder Mystery Dinner September 27

Ginny’s Helping Hand, Inc., a food pantry and thrift shop located on Mechanic Street dedicated to providing a “Hand Up” to those in need, today announced it will hold its Second Annual Murder Mystery Dinner and Silent Auction. This year’s event is in partnership with the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Institute Class of 2025, which selected Ginny’s as their community beneficiary.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 27 at 6 p.m. at Great Wolf Lodge, 150 Great Wolf Drive, Fitchburg, and will feature the murder mystery performance, “A High School Reunion…with a Deadly Twist,” presented by Brickroad Productions. In addition to an interactive mystery experience, a cocktail reception, dinner, and silent auction will be provided.

“The need at our food pantry has reached unprecedented levels,” said Brandon L. Robbins, executive director, Ginny’s Helping Hand. “By joining us at the event, people will enjoy a night of entertainment while helping ensure Ginny’s can continue its mission of providing a ‘hand up’ to our neighbors in need. We invite everyone to join us in being part of something special.”

“Our community’s need for support is undeniable, and we felt called to stand alongside Ginny’s Helping Hand to help bring relief and comfort where it matters most. This opportunity has allowed us to turn leadership into action and action into meaningful impact. Together, we’re helping to rewrite stories of hunger and hardship into stories of dignity, strength, and renewed possibility,” said Lynese Wiafe, help desk coordinator, Fitchburg State University, and member of the Community Leadership Institute Class of 2025. “We hope our family, friends, and colleagues will join us in supporting this event so no one in our community experiences food insecurity. Our deepest wish is that this event reminds every person facing hardship that they are seen, valued, and surrounded by a community that truly cares and that they are never alone. We want to give everyone the chance to believe in a brighter tomorrow and know that brighter days are within reach.”
