The Volunteer & Community Resource Center (VCRC) held the drawing for its 15th annual “Good Times” raffle recently, partnering with Stuart Fine Foods to give away $2,600 in free groceries.

Joe Mazzocchi Sr. at Stuart Fine Foods graciously donates the prizes each year and enthusiastic volunteers sell the tickets, which are just $2 each or 3 for $5.

The raffle ticket sales this year amounted to more than $7,000 -- the most ever in Good Times history. Proceeds go toward volunteer services provided by VCRC, a program of United Way of Martin County.

The drawing took place March 16 during a recognition luncheon for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) members at Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Stuart. The winners were as follows:

• First prize -- Flo Landry, $1,300 in groceries at Stuart Fine Foods.

• Second prize --  Mike Hoy, $750 in groceries.

• Third prize -- Diane Martin, $550 in groceries.

The winning tickets are good at either of the Stuart Fine Foods locations.

The raffle raises funds for VCRC, which coordinates such large-scale projects as the White Doves Holiday Project, the School Supplies for Students Drive, leadership development for volunteer coordinators at nonprofit organizations, and disaster services. VCRC, a program of United Way or Martin County, also includes the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).

“RSVP volunteers contribute their time, talents and expertise to nonprofit and public agencies,” VCRC director Carol Hodnett said. “We appreciate the volunteers and everyone who supports our efforts of connecting people with opportunities to serve, making Martin County such a wonderful place to live and work.”
