Pies and purses fundraiser a hit for mom’s baby cupboard
St. James Anglican Church was packed on Saturday afternoon for their fundraiser in support of the Mom’s Baby Cupboard.
The pies and purses event gathered over 150 people, as $5,521.00 was raised for the program, which helps out young mother’s in the community.
Diane Garrett, the event organizer, says she’s thrilled with the turn out.
“It was so much more than we could of asked, or imagined,” she said. “To the people of Wallaceburg and area, all the workers, all the one’s who participated, all the donations… we cannot thank you enough, mom’s baby cupboard will continue to thrive because of support like this.”
Purses were filled with various gift certificates from businesses in the community and auctioned off at the event.
