Make what you will of prostitution, but one Nevada brothel is proving that society’s seedy underbelly also has a heart.

Make what you will of prostitution, but one Nevada brothel is proving that society’s seedy underbelly also has a heart.

According to Las Vegas TV station KVVU, prostitutes at the Chicken Ranch legal brothel in Pahrump, Nye County, will be auctioning items to raise money for the Asta Philpott Foundation.

In a two-month fundraising effort, items of “a personal nature” will be posted online for bidding.

The Foundation raises awareness of the emotional and sexual needs of disabled people.

“Throughout the 166-year history of the Chicken Ranch, we have always made it a high priority to accommodate the needs of the handicapped,” said manager Debbie Rivenburgh.

The brothel also aims to raise funds for the charity through its annual barbecue and golf tournament in May.
