A trio of recent fundraisers have helped a Shalom Counselling Centre’s support numerous families for the coming year.
The Neighbourhood Heroes and Shopping Extravaganza and Silent Auction events each brought in about $2,400, while the Fall Friendraiser raised more than $7,000, all of which will be used to subsidize families seeking counselling.
“It takes about $400 a year per family so this is really helpful,” said Bonnie Joyes, the centre’s community relations and fundraising co-ordinator.
Heritage Ranch won the Neighbourhood Heroes challenge by raising the most money and earned a $3,500 corporate advertising package.
