A chili-tasting fundraiser on Saturday will raise money for a community group that helps needy residents in Vanier.

The plan is to provide Onyx Community Services with a van as well as a lift that would allow clients with disabilities to get to the organization’s second-floor counselling offices. Onyx on Montreal Road provides a range of services, including counselling and psychotherapy, community reintegration programs for those in conflict with the law and addiction support to those who have nowhere else to turn.
