Your Thursday evening update on Salem news

Good evening, Salem.

There’s an opportunity coming up to see the city’s most unique car collection for a good cause.

For one afternoon only, the Brothers Car Collection – a group of over 600 muscle cars held in private collection – is opening to help raise money for a remodel and expansion of Salem’s SafeSleep United Shelter.

The women’s shelter is expanding this year, adding two bathrooms and more space to host up to 40 women at a time, shelter manager Lynelle Wilcox said. Currently, they have space for just 19.

The event is Sunday, Jan. 22 from 1-4:30 p.m, with tickets at $75. To learn more or buy tickets, see the flier here.
