The Sudbury Women’s Centre drew winners for a summer FUNdraiser raffle, with two locals taking home the top three prize packages.
Proceeds from the July 25 to August 5 raffle will allow the Sudbury Women’s Centre to purchase much needed hygiene items like shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, and soap for women in need.
“We offer all of our services, programs and basic needs items completely free of charge, and are in constant need of fundraising to keep it that way,” said Chantal Makela, Women’s Centre board chair. “Supporting events like this raffle, ongoing clothing or hygiene donations and monthly giving are the best ways people can help us to help women.”
Raffle winners were drawn on Monday, Aug. 8 at noon, with the drawing posted to the SWC’s Facebook page. found here.
