The Estevan Family Resource Centre is getting ready for what it expects will be its largest fundraiser of the year.
The centre will be selling beautiful plants and flowers from a company named Growing Smiles to help raise money for its programs. The fundraiser will launch on April 1, at which time the community will be able to find the link to order from on their Facebook page.
They will be accepting orders until May 4.
Flowers and other products will be delivered to the family centre at a time to be determined on May 19. The community will come to collect their orders that day. They have no way of knowing what specific time the delivery truck will come, so the day of delivery, once orders are ready, they will notify those who made a purchase.
Last year the family centre had a similar fundraiser, and the products offered this year will be similar. They decided to do this for a second year time, as they had great support from the area and it is a fundraiser they are able to do within all of the COVID-19 guidelines.
Their goal is to raise $5,000. All funds will be used for their operations and free programming.
“We are so proud that all programs and use of our facility are free, allowing all members of our community equal opportunities to utilize our resources,” said Misty Pennington, who is the organizer for the fundraiser.
