From March 4 to 6, the Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) Lindsay Education Centre Sunshine Committee hosted the first-ever Spring Craft and Bake Sale to raise money for the Feed All Four Fund. This fund provides direct support to students and families in TLDSB communities who may be struggling.
The initiative kicked off with a vendor callout, asking staff to bring either a craft or baked good product to be sold. There was a tremendous response and education centre staff were able to choose from a large variety of items over the three-day sale, including homemade river charcuterie boards, crocheted blankets and baskets, martial arts ropes, crafted greeting cards, hand-made pottery, repurposed Indigenous items, and a number of baked goods.
From the sales, 100 percent of the baking proceeds, and at least 10 percent of the craft proceeds were collected. In total, the initiative raised $475, which will directly impact TLDSB families in need.
