St. Jospeph’s Community Food Bank is very pleased at the turnout for the Let’s Build Better Campaign auction last Saturday.
The auction filled Germania Hall in support of the project with bids on 35 original pieces from artist Barbara Blackstein of the Ottawa Watercolor Society. Ms. Blackstein donated her art so the proceeds could go directly to the Capital Campaign.
According to President René Lachapelle, a total of forty thousand dollars was raised from the event including the direct contribution of generous community members in attendance. Additional thanks are required for a variety of sponsors and volunteers from the community who helped to make this event a booming success.
