This painting by neighborhood resident Lilia Estrada will be auctioned Saturday.

I’m just learning about a nonprofit in our neighborhood, Alley’s House. Evidently, it has been around since 1997, with headquarters on Junius.

Alley’s House helps teen mothers with counseling, tutoring, life skills, mentoring and job training. Part of its mission is to prevent drop outs and help teen mothers succeed in their education.

The nonprofit is holding an online art sale to raise funds. Local artists donated work, and each piece is for sale at $160. All of the proceeds go to helping the Alley’s House mission.

Alley’s House also will hold an art auction at Rising Art Gallery downtown, from 7-11 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4. Tickets are $25.

You can also give money to Alley’s House, or buy and donate something that’s on its wish list.
