The annual Festival of Treasures hosted by St. Paul’s Anglican Church on August 1st and 2nd was a win-win-win … for those wanting to donate their treasures to others, those who acquired treasures and those that benefited from funds raised.
“It is because of the generosity of our community, both in giving donations and coming out in support to purchase, that we are able to help others,” said Doug Goar, Church Warden (Elder).
This year’s recipients each received a donation of $1,100 to help out their organizations.
