Season of Trees
On December 6, 2018, friend of the Sources Foundation Jas Salh hosted her client appreciation event with a fundraising element for Sources Food Banks.
The annual holiday fundraiser, Season of Trees, took place at her HollisWealth office in South Surrey’s Ocean Point building. Thank you, Jas, for your generous support!
Sources Foundation board member Norm Attridge was Event Chair, and played another key role as “Hip” Santa! With Mrs. Claus, the merry pair posed with those who purchased Rotary Save-On-Foods Gift Cards, an important element of the evening’s fundraising.
With 17% of every gift card purchased going directly to our Food Bank, every $100 gift card bought and donated back to our Food Bank gives us $350 worth of buying power!
Through a silent auction of Christmas Stockings, Donations, and Sales of Rotary Save-On-Foods Gift Cards, more than $5,000 was fundraised for Sources South Surrey/White Rock and Langley Food Banks.
