NORFOLK, Va. – A local ministry had to cancel an event that was scheduled for November 15-17.

The ministry’s three-day fundraising event was called “The TAKEOVER.”

On the Facebook event page 99forthe1 said, “Thank you for all of the interest in our event but unfortunately we have had to cancel for this year. Harry Potter seemed to have been a popular choice for events this year so we are going to try again when the timing is right.”

According to its mission statement, 99forthe1 is a “one stop shop to make those in need feel good again.” Thanks to their unique mobile homeless ministry, people are able to shower, shave, get clean clothes and fill a bag with hygiene products for the week  – all while feeling good about themselves.
