SAWA Raises Money for School of
Performing Arts and Food Pantry
The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary, (SAWA), recently held a Garage and Bake Sale to benefit The Salvation Army School of Performing Arts and the Richmond Area Command food pantry.
This sale, which attracted an estimated 200 individuals, featured numerous donated items available for purchase, including; baby furniture, golf equipment, books, videos, board games, and baked goods.
SAWA member Cathy Burgess graciously held the sale at her home and several of her neighbors contributed items. One neighbor even provided lunch for the SAWA members who worked the sale!
"I was so fortunate to have dedicated Auxiliary members who, along with their husbands, helped set up the sale on Friday and then returned to help on Saturday," said Burgess.
The sale raised about $900 and its proceeds will be given by SAWA to The Salvation Army School of Performing Arts and the Richmond Area Command food pantry.
